The western end of Waterloo Bay is occupied by a relatively straight southwest to south facing 4 km long sand beach (348). The beach is backed by 40 m high bluffs in the east covered by as thin veneer of clifftop dunes, with vegetated blowouts and parabolics dunes extending up to 300 m inland behind the central and western end of the beach. The bluffs and dune are backed by wheat fields with no public access, other than via farm tracks. The beach receives low swell through the strait, and usually has a steep beach with low surging waves and no rips. Occasional higher swell forms a narrow continuous bar and rips. Calcarenite reefs parallel part of the western beach, inducing additional rips.
