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. Shoal Bay (982), more recently renamed Hideaway Bay as part of a land subdivision, is a 2.4 km long, north-east facing, low energy bay, backed by wooded hills rising to 400 m. The lower slopes overlooking the bay were subdivided in the early 1990’s. The beach consists of a narrow high tide strip of sand fronted by 200 to 300 m wide, rocky sand flats. In the south-east corner of the bay is a second 500 m long, curving, west facing beach (983) that ties small Black Currant Island to the mainland via a narrow strip of sand and mangroves. read more
