The main beach (1440) commences at the sandy foreland that separates it from beach 1439, and facing southwest runs relatively straight for 9.5 km to the lee of Twin Rocks. This is an exposed high energy beach consisting of a 3 km long section of reef controlled rips, then a 4 km section with an inner bar cut by rips spaced every 500 m, and finally a lower gradient 400 wide more dissipative surf zone at the head. It is backed by the widest active dune field on the Eyre Peninsula.
