The northern Cable Beach (K 20) extends from the boundary rocks due north for 12 km to so called Cape Latreille, a low sand spit that forms the southern side of a shallow creek mouth. This beach is undeveloped and is backed by a 0.5-1 km wide strip of largely stable dunes and foredune ridges. Vehicles are permitted on the beach and numerous vehicles and their occupants spread along the shore, while this is also an optional clothing (i.e. nude) beach. Three kilometres of beachrock reef parallel the southern section of the beach, lowering waves, particularly at low tide.
