Basham Beach (151) is a curving 1.8 km long lower energy beach, which faces east, is sheltered by Commodore Point and receives waves decreasing from 1 m in the east to less than 0.5 m in the west. The proected western corner is called Fisherman’s Bay. The low waves maintain a narrow continuous bar which decreases in width to the west. In addition rocks outcrop along the beach and form shallow reefs off the beach. A bike track parallels the back of the beach, with vehicle access to car parks at either end.
