Port Broughton is a protected small town and port in lee of Webling Point. The entire port and its five beaches are protected by up to 5 km of tidal flats and shoals. The town is a popular holiday destination and much of the 3 km of town foreshore is given over to holiday houses and caravan parks, together with a 400 m long jetty and 300 m long dredged channel for a boat ramp. There are three west facing beaches fronting the town proper. The jetty beach (543) is 1.2 km long and extends south of the boat ramp, down past the jetty to the southern caravan park. It is fronted by 300 to 400 wide tidal flats, then the deeper channel for Mundoora Arm. It is backed by the caravan park, a foreshore reserve and town centre.
