West of the river mouth, the cliffed and rocky coast continues all the way to Cape Younghusband, except for three small beaches. The first (KI-126) is located 1km west of the river mouth. It is a 600 m long sandy beach, backed by a low foredune and vegetated transgressive dunes, but fronted by a near continuous rock platform and reefs, with only one sand patch open to the surf. Waves break heavily over the reefs and three reef-controlled rips drain the beach and platform. A 4WD track leads to the 10 m high bluffs separating this beach from the neighbouring beach (KI-127). This is a 250 m long beach located below bluffs which rise from 10 m in the east to 30 m at the western end. It has a surf zone composed predominantly of reefs in the east and sand to the west. Waves are slightly decreased by protection from western headlands, but reef-controlled rips still dominate the 100 m wide surf. read more
