Peggs Beach (T 993) commences on the southern side of the sandy Black River mouth and curves slightly to the southeast for 3.5 km, terminating at a low rock reef. The beach receives waves averaging 1 m, which break across a 500 m wide low gradient ultradissipative beach, paralleled by a low tide bar, with wave height and beach width decreasing slightly to the south. It is backed by a series of up to 12 well vegetated foredune ridges, which widen to 500 m in the centre and north. In the south there are also several vegetated blowouts. The highway clips the eastern end of the beach where there is a campground and park in lee of the boundary reef. The road then follows the rear of the ridges, before turning inland to cross the Black River 1 km in from the mouth. The whole beach and barrier system is contained within the 208 ha Peggs Beach Coastal Reserve.
