The Beak is a 1.5 km long, 70 m high, densely wooded headland. Its predominantly rocky shore houses three beaches along its more exposed northern shore, as well as a more sheltered southern beach. There is no vehicle or formal land access to any of the beaches.
The three northern beaches are all composed of steep, white coral rubble at high tide, grading into darker cobble and boulders toward low tide. Coral Beach (1025) is 400 m long, with rock points to either end and rock flats at low tide. There is a fishing shack located at its eastern end. The beach can be accessed via a 2 km long walking track from the Shute Harbour residential area.
Beach Length: 0.4km
