West Bay (KI-144) is the only beach accessible by vehicle on the west coast, with a 22 km drive from Rocky River. The beach, at 470 m, is the longest of the river mouth beaches. It blocks a 400 m wide valley mouth, with the sandy creek bed running along the southern side of the valley and onto the beach. Prominent calcarenite-capped bedrock headlands extend 2 km along the south side of the bay, providing slight protection to the southwest facing bay. Two rips usually flow out either side of the bay, with one to two central beach rips (Fig. 5.26).
