The southern section of the beach (FI 9) commences on the southern side of the inlet and continues to curve slightly to the south for another 15.4 km to Pot Boil Point. The moderate easterly waves continue down the beach, as does the inner low gradient beach and low tide terrace, with the outer bar 100 m offshore. Towards Pot Boil Point the beach becomes influenced by the extensive tidal shoals that extend up to 4 km offshore. The shoals lower waves at the beach, induce more crenulations in the shoreline, as well as directing strong tidal currents parallel to the shore. In addition the 800 ha Logan Lagoon occasionally breaks out across the beach, 1 km north of the point (Fig. 4.292). Between Cameron Inlet and the Logan Lagoon inlet the beach is backed by a continuous series of up to 20 foredune ridges which range from 500-1,000 m in width, and which are backed by 3 km wide Logan Lagoon, as well as Muddy, North and South Chain lagoons. There is a 4WD track between South Chain and Logan lagoons, which with difficulty can be used to reach the beach. The whole of Logan Lagoon and the southern 6 km of the beach-barrier, as well as much of beach FI 10, are part of the Logan Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary. read more
