Beach T 783 lies 500 m further north and is a 300 m long section of near continuous sandy shore dominated by bordering rock platforms and four ridges of rocks that extend from the beach 50 m into the surf, with reefs extending up to 500 m offshore. Waves average 1 to 1.5 m close to shore and maintain three permanent rips between the rock ridges. A 15-20 m high hummocky foredune backs the beach, with a small creek draining across the centre of the beach.
