White Beach (KI 4) commences on the southern side of the small section of rocky shore and trends to the southeast for 2.2 km to the next small rock-tied sandy foreland. The beach faces northeast with waves averaging up to 1 m, which maintain a more energetic low tide terrace, often cut by several rips during periods of higher waves. It is backed by a low continuous well vegetated foredune. Beach KI 5 extends from the foreland for 750 m to the southeast to the beginning of a rocky section of shore that extends to Boulder Point. The beach is moderately sheltered by the northern rocks and tidally driven sand waves that extend up to 1 km offshore. The lower waves maintain a usually reflective to occasionally low tide terrace beach. Beach KI 6 continues for 1.2 km from the beginning of the rocks to Boulder Point. It is a crenulate high tide reflective beach fronted by 200 m wide intertidal rock flats, with only a small pocket of sandy shoreline 200 m west of the point. The sand waves extend up to 1 km off the rocky section narrowing towards the point. A 4WD track from the south reaches the southern side of the 50 m high sand-draped granite slopes behind the beach.
