Between Shoal Bay and George Point is an open, 8 km wide, north facing bay, bordered by high land behind Shoal Bay, with the low ground of Dingo Beach in the centre and hilly terrain rising to over 300 m toward George Point. The shoreline consists of a series of small bedrock-controlled embayments containing nine beaches, and three small islands. All the beaches face essentially north and are low energy, with calm conditions or low waves dominating. The Dingo Beach Road reaches the coast at Dingo Beach; from there a western road runs out to Sinclaire Bay and an eastern road to Nelly and Jonah Bays. The eastern four beaches have no vehicle access. Little Jonah Bay (987), beaches 988 & 989 and Georges Bay (990) all occupy small indentations in the hilly shoreline between beach 986 and George Point. There is no vehicle access to these beaches. Little Jonah Bay is contained in a small, 500 m wide, north facing valley. It consists of a low, 200 m wide dune flat covered in casuarinas, a steep high tide beach, and 200 m wide sand and rock flats, with mangroves fringing the eastern headland. Beach 988 is a 200 m long strip of high tide sand fringed by low tide rocks and a few mangroves. Steep wooden slopes back the beach. Beach 989 is another 400 m long strip of sand and rocks at the base of wooden slopes. It consists of two parts separated by 50 m of rocks, with a few mangroves also fringing the eastern end of the beach. The beach is fronted by 100 m wide rock-reef flats. George Bay (990) lies immediately east of 100 m high George Point. The bay is 1 km deep and contains a protected, 500 m wide, west facing beach. It is a sand beach fronted by tidal flats that runs the length of the bay, with outcrops of beachrock, and stands of mangroves at either end and against the headlands. read more
