East Cape Beach is a 300 m long east-south-east facing beach, lying on the eastern side of Cape Conran. A sealed road runs down to the back of the low beach, where there is a picnic area. The Banksia Bluff camping area begins on the bluffs just to the east of the beach.
The beach is shielded by the cape and receives lower waves averaging 0.6 m, which break across a low attached bar, with small rips usually against the eastern rocks. Rocks and reefs are also located along the beach towards the cape.
Beach Length: 0.3km
