Fern-Poison Creek beach (WA 55) commences 300 m to the west and occupies a 1 km wide southeast-facing embayment. The beach curves for 1.2 km between the two low vegetated headlands, with Fern Creek deflected the length of the beach to link with Poison Creek and breakout across the southern end of the beach. The beach is moderately exposed in the north, with wave energy decreasing into the southern corner, where the beach curves round to face north. A few rips occupy the northern half of the beach, with a continuous and narrowing bar along the southern half.

Seal Creek is blocked by the northern beach and breaks out only following winter rains across the very northern end of the beach. The northern beach
