It is backed by steep, vegetated 60 m high slopes, with the vehicle track terminating on the centre of the slopes, and a steep foot track down to the beach. Four kilometres west of the beach is the downed mouth of the Waychinicup River. The rocky mouth is 100 m wide at its entrance. It winds inland for 600 m as a deep inlet and anchorage. A vehicle track terminates a camping area on the western side of the river. Normans and Bettys beaches (WA 366 & 367) are two adjoining sand beaches divided by the usually closed entrance to Normans Lake (Fig. 4.89).
