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. On the eastern side of Black Currant Island is Dingo Beach (984) - the main centre for the area, containing a store and caravan park. The 2 km long, curving, north facing beach is bordered by low, rocky headlands and consists of a steep, 50 m wide high tide beach, fronted by 500 to 1 000 m wide sandy-reef flats (Fig. 2.16b). There is road access to the back of the beach, which also has two rows of houses, together with a boat ramp and a tidal swimming (stinger) enclosure. The eastern end of the beach protrudes northward in lee of a small island 1 km off the beach, with tidal flats connecting the island to the point at low tide. read more
