Beach 374 is a 500 m long, open sand beach that faces south-east and is backed by the Great Ocean Road. A small creek crosses the middle of the beach, where it has deposited a bed of cobbles. It is bordered by two headlands, the northern one being more a collection of boulders, while there is a wide rock platform off the southern end. There are also reefs off the beach. Waves average 1.5 m and maintain a strong permanent rip against the northern end and a second rip down the beach.
Swimming
Deep troughs, reefs and strong rips dominate the surf, so stay close inshore, and preferably toward the southern end.
Surfing
There are breaks over the reefs at high tide.
Fishing
Both the beach and southern rock platform both give good access to deeper rip holes and gutters.
General
This is the first open predominantly sand beach since Kennett River, however reefs still dominate the surf.
