Beach WA 440 is the first of the five near continuous beaches located at the western end of Ratcliffe Bay. It is a 300 m long strip of high tide sand cut into three 100 m long sections by rock debris in the east and a slight protrusion of the bluffs in the west. A continuous beachrock reef lies 50-100 m off the beach, with a rock and sand-filled lagoon in between. High waves reach the eastern end of the beach decreasing to the west as the lagoon widens. The beach is backed by steep vegetated 20-30 m high bluffs, with a 4 WD track reaching the top of the western bluffs.
