Beach WA 438 lies 1 km to the west and is a similar 250 m long narrow strip of high tide sand backed by 160-180 m high cliffs, with a major land slide immediately east of the beach and rock debris littering the beach and inshore. A beachrock reef lies 100 m off the beach, with waves breaking heavily on the reef and reforming in the backing lagoon, where they break again across the rock-littered inner bar. There is a steep walking track down to the rocks 200 m west of the beach.
