Buick Point is a cuspate-shaped sandy point that forms the western side of the American River inlet. Between the low point and the rocky bluffs to the west is a 750 m long sand beach (KI-31) fronted by 250 m wide tidal flats in the north, which narrow toward the deep, 100 m wide tidal channel at the point. Most of the beach is backed by a grassy foreshore reserve, which in the north abuts a small creek and salt marsh, while in the south is the main jetty for the settlement, with some boats moored in the channel.
