Lowry Point is a prominent projection on the west side of the gulf, north of which the gulf narrows to less than 15 km, and south of which it widens initially into False Bay. Bedrock shoreline dominates from Fitzgerald Bay for 9 km down to the point, with just one small beach (583) located on the eastern tip of the 10 m high point. The beach is just 80 m long, and consists of a high tide sand beach, fronted by 50 m wide rock than sand flats. The Lowry Point lighthouse, built in 1883, is located right behind the beach. A sealed road runs out to the jetty at Port Bonython, located just west of the point.
