Wallaby Bay is a semi-circular 700 m wide bay located between Ashley Point and Berry Head. Beach T 647 occupies much of the bay shore. It commences in the south in lee of Ashley Point and curves to the north for 950 m, past four rock outcrops to a northern 50 m wide headland. Waves averaging up to 1 m reach the northern end of the beach, decreasing to the south. They maintain a low gradient low tide terrace that increases to 50 m in width to the north, together with crenulations induced by the rocks. During higher waves one to two rips form along the northern end of the beach and cross the terrace. It is backed by a low foredune then tree-covered slopes rising to 20 m. Beach T 648 is a 100 m long pocket beach between the northern 50 m wide headland and the base of Berry Head. Rock platforms surround the boundary points and front the beach, with waves lowered to less than 1 m at the shore. Densely vegetated slopes rise to the 80 m high ridge of Berry Head.
