Penguin township occupies 2 km of coastline to the east of Dial Point, with four beaches (T 1104-1107) dominating most of the shoreline, all backed by 10 m high bluffs rising to Main Street, with the town behind. Johnsons Beach (T 1104) is a curving 200 m long, north-facing beach, bordered by a caravan park and the rocks of Dial Point to the west and 10 m high Beecraft Point to the east, both surrounded by intertidal rock flats (Fig. 4.242). It is a centrally located and popular beach during low wave conditions. The beach has a moderately steep high tide beach grading into a 50-100 m wide low tide terrace, with the rock flats to either side and some in the centre, all of which are exposed at low tide and hazardous when waves are breaking on the beach. A bike path, narrow reserve, highway and houses back the beach.
