The western end of the Nene Valley settlement terminates at low limestone bluffs beyond which is a 4.2 km long low gradient sandy beach that extends most of the way towards Blackfellows Caves. A vehicle access track at the end of the Nene Valley road provides the beast access to this natural beach (29). It is first beach since Piccaninnie Ponds to receive significant waves at the shore. They average 1.5 m and maintain a 200-300 m wide surf zone cut by rips every 400 m, together with permanent rips against reefs at the eastern, central and western ends. The beach is backed by stabilising Holocene dunes and crossed by the solitary small Nene Valley Creek. It terminates at low limestone bluffs, which separate it from beach 30.
Beach Length: 4.2km
