Toolinna Cove beach (WA 18) lies another 90 km along the cliffline at 419 km. The cove occurs at an inflection in the run of the cliffs as they turn and trend more to the south. The beach is approximately 100 m long, but is in part covered by a massive slopes of boulder debris, leaving only a 50 m long patch of sand towards its southern end. It has a usually detached bar cut by a central and two permanent boundary rips, with some rocks also in the surf (Fig. 4.10). A vehicle track leads to the top of the beach, and a flying fox has been set up in a steep gully toward the southern end to provide access to and transfer of fishing gear and fish, to and from the beach. Access to the beach however remains extremely hazardous. Extending to the northeast of the beach and adjacent lies about 10 km inland and parallels the entire beach. Between the scarp and the beach are Holocene and Pleistocene barrier and dune deposits, including the 120 m high active Bilbunya sand dunes, the highest active dunes in Australia. read more
