Cheetima beach (1377) is an exposed southwest facing crenulate 1.7 km long high tide sand and cobble beach. The low tide zone and out into the surf is dominated by calcarenite reef flats and beachrock which produce two cuspate protrusions, as well as an irregular surf zone. During moderate to high waves the surf is 400 m wide, with a large rip exiting the eastern end of the beach. There is a monument on the bluffs at the eastern end to the 1992 wreck of the “Triton Star’ and the two crew.
