Pelican Point marks the beginning of a series of more crenulate bays and low points that extend for 5 km to Cape Banks. The crenulations are a result of both the dominating Tertiary limestone reefs, coupled with the Pleistocene calcarenite that increasingly dominated to the west as reef and then cliffs. The main road runs behind the beaches, with a caravan park, service station and store located behind Bungaloo Bay.
Bungaloo Bay (36) is a semi-circular 800 m long southwest facing bay protected by reefs extending 1 to 2 km offshore, the reefs extending all the way to The Rapids. The low gradient sand beach is usually calm, and covered in seagrass debris, with small boats moored just off the beach. About 40 shacks back most of the bayshore, including the low limestone bluffs to the west. In amongst the western bluffs is an 80 m long low energy beach (37) consisting of a cobble ridge, some sand and rock flats, and backed by shacks.
