Beach T 809 is the longest and most exposed beach along this section. The 600 m long beach commences at the base of the long rock boundary ridge and curves to the north to a series of linear west-trending ridges on the south side of Duck Creek. The southern half of the beach is fronted by a 150 m wide bar drained by a permanent rip against the southern ridge, while the northern half has subtidal rock ridges, with a second rip flowing out over the rocky seafloor (Fig. 4.162). A continuous 20 m high vegetated foredune backs the beach, with an active blowout behind the southern end. The track runs around the rear of the dunes to reach the northern end.
