Stumpys Bay beach (T 27) commences on the southern side of Cape Naturaliste and curves to the south, then south-southeast for 3.9 km to a prominent sandy foreland formed in lee of Stumpys Rock, a series of granite boulders and reefs extending 600 m offshore. The beach receives waves averaging about 1 m which maintain an often cusped reflective to occasionally low tide terrace beach, with rips only occurring during periods of higher waves. It is backed by a 200 m wide series of 5-6 foredunes in the north-centre, which narrow to the south. The foredune is breached by three small streams include Gumhill Creek, with a usually blocked creek and small lagoon located against the southern foreland. The creeks drain longwalled parabolic dunes in the north and the slopes of Mount William in the south. Besides the rocks, scattered deeper reefs occupy much of the bay floor. There is vehicle access to two campsites located at the creek mouth and 1 km to the north. read more
