Beach 955 lies below 40 m high cliffs on the southern side of Frenchman Bluff. It is a 200 m long sliver of sand fronted by deeper reefs, with only low waves at the shore. While the road runs along the top of the bluffs the beach can only be accessed down the steep eastern bluffs. On the north side of the bluff is 550 m long, west-facing beach 956, a more exposed beach receiving waves between 0.5 and 1 m on average, which maintain a narrow attached bar and surf zone. However the beach is backed by steep 50 m high bluffs, with the best access down a gully at the northern end.
