Miranda Bay lies on the southern side of Monkey Point. It is 500 m long and faces south-east, thereby picking up waves that average 1 m. They have built a steep high tide beach, with a continuous bar exposed at low tide. Rips may develop toward the more exposed western end, particularly against the rocks.The beach is surrounded by steep vegetated slopes that rise to 100 m on the western headland. The only access is by boat.

Swimming

A moderately safe beach, especially toward the eastern end. Watch for rips at the western end, wherever waves are breaking.

Surfing

Chance of a reasonable beach break toward the western point.

Fishing

Best off the rocks and beach at the western end, where there is a rip under moderate to high waves.

General

An attractive beach surrounded by steep vegetated slopes.
