Greenly Beach (961) is located 10 km west of the highway and is a relatively popular swimming and surfing beach, particularly as it offer some of the first consistent surf north of Coffin Bay, with waves averaging just over 1 m (Fig. 4.147). The beach is afforded some protection is the southern corner by Coles Point, with the remaining trending due north and exposed to westerly waves, which average about 1 m, but can rage from calm to higher conditions. Rips may persist up the beach, with several strong rips during higher waves. The beach terminates at a 10 m bluff fronted by a rock platform, on the north side of which is beach 962, a slightly crenulate 600 m long beach, bordered by bluffs, with some reef toward the centre, and permanent rips at either end. Both beaches are backed by continuous active sand dunes extending up to 1 km inland. The access road runs out to the southern end of Greenly beach and parallels the rear of the sand dunes, with 250 m high Mount Greenly immediately east. read more
