It has good road access and lies 4 km off the Glyn Dale sealed road. There is a foreshore park, toilets and shower at the beach, and beach boat launching but no other facilities. Boats are usually moored off the protected beaches. Two to three metre high limestone bluffs, called the Nene Valley Rock, outcrop in front of the settlement and form the western boundary of the 4 km long eastern beach, and either end of the 400 m long beach that fronts the western part of the settlement. There is good beach access at the settlement, otherwise a 4WD is required to drive the beach or tracks through the dunes. The eastern beach (27) extends from the low sandy cuspate foreland to the rocks. Limestone reefs extend up to 500 m seaward of the beach, reducing waves to about 0.5 m. The beach consists of a low gradient beach and narrow continuous bar, which is occasional cut by rips, some permanently located in lee of inshore reefs. read more
