The Merdayerrah Sandpatch backs the main beach. The beach (1454) is 8.5 km long and entirely backed by the active white calcareous dunes, that in places extend 1 km inland climbing the backing 90 m high slopes to reach to crest of the Nullabor Plain. Where this occurs it provide an easy, through steep walking track down to the shore. The beach while partly controlled by deeper reefs, is dominated by a series of rips across the inner bar.
