Beach K 21 lies between Cape Latreille and Willie Creek. This is a 6.5 km long beach that trends north paralleled by 4 km of attached beachrock, before curving into the mouth of the 500 m wide creek mouth. A 1 km wide foredune ridge plain backs the beach which grades into recurved spits toward the creek mouth. The large tidal range and strong tidal currents have formed an ebb tide delta that protrudes up to 2 km seaward of the creek mouth. The beach is accessible along the sand from Cable Beach and via tracks off McGuilgan Road that reaches the beach either side of Cape Latreille. There are however no facilities at the beach.
