Port Lincoln Proper is an almost landlocked extension of Port Lincoln that extends for 12 km to the southwest of Kirton Point. The V-shaped bay is dominated by low rock bluffs and tidal flats along its northern and western most shore, with low energy beaches and sand flats, backed by low calcarenite bluffs backing most of the southern shore. Seagrass meadows lie off all the beaches. Proper Road parallels the western shore providing access to the only settlement at Tulka, while the gravel road out through Lincoln National Park to Spalding Cove provides access to most of the south shore beaches. Apart from about 50 shacks at Tulka there is no development other than basic camping facilities at a few of the beaches. The Tulka shack settlement is located on a rocky delta, that protrudes 200 to 300 m into the bay. The small creek that has supplied the sediment crosses the northern end of the rock-sand beach. The crenulate 1.5 km long beach (763) faces southeast and is fronted by a mixture of rock and sand flats.
