South Mole Beach has formed during the past century, since the construction of the harbour moles or entrance walls at the mouth of the Moyne River. The beach lies on the north side of Griffiths Island, between the low dune calcarenite that forms the island and the wall. It can be reached on foot from the car park via a footbridge to the island. The beach is 200 m long and faces north-east. It is protected by the island and waves average about 0.5 m at the beach. This results in a low, continuous bar and usually no rips.
