The beach (T 873) is located at the northern end of the beach with rock platforms to either side. It is sheltered by its embayed location, three reefs just off the beach and the boundary points and reefs which result in usually low waves at the shore and reflective conditions. Slipways are located to either side of the beach with the larger boats slipped because of the reefs in the bay. The few houses back the west and north side of the harbour with about 10 foredune ridges extending 200 m inland to the edge of Poppys Lagoon.
