The Gable is a prominent rock feature located 1 km west of Moonlight Head. Tertiary limestone rises over 100 m at Moonlight Head and then slopes down toward The Gable, where 10 to 50 m high cliffs back a 200 m long beach. The beach can be seen from the eastern Moonlight Head car park. It can be reached from the spur off the Moonlight Head Road, with a 1 km walk down the steep, grassy slopes to the beach.
The crenulate beach contains three pockets of sand, each separated by intertidal rock platforms and fronted by deeper reefs. Rips flow out between the platforms. The beach faces south-west and receives waves averaging 1.5 m, which break over the reefs and produce a steep, barless beach face.
