ourbridge Point is the southernmost point on the west coast of Yorke Peninsula. At the 10 m high cliffed limestone point, the coast turns and trends west, exposing the shore to low ocean waves that have travelled through Investigator Strait. As a consequence the sand flats that dominate the entire Gulf Saint Vincent right round to Adelaide, are immediately replaced by low energy ocean beaches. Between Tourbridge Point and the Clan Ranald memorial 5 km to the west are four small beaches, all lying below the bluffs and all accessible via a bluff top gravel road.
Beach 339 lies 2.5 km west of the point, and consists of a 100 m long pocket of sand lying below the bluffs, with low waves usually surging up the beach.
Beach Length: 0.1km
