Cone Hill is a 160 m high east-west-trending ridge formed of volcanic rhyodacite. It lies at the northeastern extremity of Cone Bay. Around the base of the hill are three low energy beaches. Beach K 197 occupies the southern wing of the easternmost deposits in the bay. It is a 250 m long strip of high tide sand and low beach ridge, backed by a small salt flat. Mangroves border each end, as well as a central clump, while mud flats extend 500 m off the beach. It is separated by a 1 km long mangrove-fronted beach ridge/chenier (?) from beach K 198.
