Point Flinders extends for 1.5 km south-east of the town of Flinders. The 30 m high point houses the golf course, a Navy Gunnery Range and, along the southern shore, the start of Mornington Peninsula National Park. The point is composed of ancient weathered basalt, which also lies along the shore and forms the offshore reef. West of Flinders, the rock platforms are composed of distinctive columnar basalt, resembling paving stones. The Golf Links Road runs around the point, but with no public access to the Navy land. The two beaches lie on the south side of the point and are backed by high bluffs. Pilot Station Beach lies below the old Pilot Station. It is 600 m long; backed by 20 m high, grassy bluffs; composed of sand and basalt cobbles; and fronted by extensive reefs, that lower waves at the shore. Ocean Beach is 800 m long and backed by grassy bluffs, reaching 50 m in height. The beach is also narrow at high tide and includes sand and cobbles, with irregular reefs offshore.
