Waves remain low, despite its orientation, with the low wide beach fronted by 50 m wide sand flats then seagrass meadows, with the sand flats widening to 300 m off the inlet. The southerly winds have however blown low sand dunes up to 500 m in from the beach. There is vehicle access to the northern end of the beach, with a 4WD require to reach the inlet.
