Moorland Beach (T 1145) extends east-northeast for 2.1 km between Pardoe and the low Moorland Point. There is a slight protrusion in the beach caused by wave refraction and attenuation to the lee of Wright and Egg islands, located 1-1.5 km offshore. The beach has a near continuous 150 m wide low tide bar, with low tide rips forming during higher waves, while closer to Moorland Point intertidal rocks and reefs are located in the intertidal zone. A hummocky 50-100 m wide foredune system and narrow elongate wetland back the beach, with the airport, then farmland, behind.
Beach Length: 2.1km
