Point Hawdon is a prominent sandstone headland on the south side of Kennett River. From the point, the coast sweeps south-west for 4 km to the next major headland at Cape Patton. In between, steep, forested slopes with rock platforms at their base, dominate the coast. The Great Ocean Road winds along up to 50 m above the sea. Below the road are six sand beaches. They all face south-east to east and receive waves averaging between 1 and 1.5 m. However, except for the Cape Patton Beach, they are fronted by continuous platforms and reefs, which dominate the surf and currents.
The Point Hawdon Beach lies on the south side of the point, with a steep track leading to the beach from the point car park. The beach is fronted by a continuous rock platform, that is exposed at low tide.
