On the south side of The Knob is a relatively straight 3 km long beach (622) that runs down toward a protruding bluff. The Port Gibbon road runs along the back of the beach with several beach, then bluff top car parks. The south facing beach receives periodic higher waves, which toward the Knob end can produce a series of small rips and an outer bar (Fig.4.112). Further down the beach, waves decrease and the bar is attached to the shore. On the south side of the bluff, the Port Gibbon beach (623) continues on for another 1.4 km to the port and small jetty. This beach is backed by 10 m high red bluffs composed of Pleistocene alluvium, with the small port settlement sitting on the bluffs overlooking the relatively sheltered beach, which is often covered with seagrass debris (Fig. 4.113).
