George Point is the northern tip of a section of rugged, irregular coast that extends down to Cape Conway, 65 km to the south-east, and contains 170 km of predominantly rocky shoreline, together with numerous high islands of the Whitsundays paralleling the coast. The first 9 km south of the point contains ten small beaches along 12 km of coast. All are low energy, all are located in indentations and small bays along the predominantly rocky coast and most are influenced, if not dominated, by rocks. They are all relatively isolated, with no vehicle access to any of the beaches.
Immediately east of George Point is beach 991; a 250 m long, east facing strip of high tide sand fronted by a cobble to boulder flat, and bordered by 100 m high, bare to shrubby headlands.
