The Black and Bohle Rivers are two small rivers that enter the southern end of Halifax Bay. Lying toward the southern, more protected end of the bay, they receive low waves and have mangroves growing along parts of their shores. Black River is bordered by settlements on either side, with a road on its southern side running 7 km out to a growing coastal settlement that parallels the first kilometre of the beach. There is a second access road midway down the beach, and a vehicle track to the mouth of the Bohle River and Bohle River Beach. Black River Beach (850) is 4.5 km long, east-north-east facing and consists of a low, narrow high tide beach, fronted by tidal flats that are 500 m wide off the Black River mouth and increase to 2 km off the southern Bohle River mouth. A few mangroves fringe the northern end and increase in density to the south, where they are 500 m wide off the Bohle River.
Beach Length: 4.5km
