Beach WA 94 commences on the western side of the domed headland and trends southwest for 1.1 km to the low domed Alexander Point. The area between the beach and the islands is known as Taylor Boat Harbour. The beach is composed of fine white quartz sand, which combines with waves averaging less than 1 m to maintain a narrow low gradient bar, usually free of rips. The beach is backed by a stable foredune, and then transgressive dunes that have originated from the western beach WA 95 in Alexander Bay (Fig. 4.25). Alexander Bay is an 8 km wide, south-facing embayment bounded by Alexander Point in the east and the headland in lee of Ben Island in the west. A curving near continuous strip of sand occupies the northern bay shore and contains beaches WA 95-97. There is vehicle access to the recreation and camping reserve, located at the western end of the bay, which offers basic facilities.
