Five Rocks beach (1354) is a straight, 5.3 km long, east facing beach that lies between The Three Rivers headland and Five Rocks Point. Three Rivers is named after three small creeks that converge on the northern corner of the beach, while Five Rocks is due to the presence of five distinctive sea stacks that sit atop the narrow, 600 m long point. The entire beach is backed by stable, vegetated parabolic dunes that extend up to 8 km inland and reach heights of over 200 m.
The beach is accessible via 4WD tracks at each end, as well as along the low gradient beach at low tide. The beach itself has a 50 m wide, moderate gradient high tide beach, fronted by a 150 m wide low tide bar. Wave average 0.6 m and occasional higher waves cut rips every 200 m. A trough and outer bar lie just seaward, with more widely spaced rips cutting the outer bar.
Beach Length: 5.3km
