Lucys Beach (WA 1076) commences on the northern side of the foreland and continues to the northwest for 15 km to Cape Burney. The calcarenite merges with the shoreline along this beach permitting higher waves to reach the shore, with calcarenite rocks, platforms and reefs dominating the shoreline and narrow inner surf zone. As a consequence this is a highly crenulate and hazardous beach. The northern few kilometers consists of a high tide sand beach fronted by a continuous 20-50 m wide intertidal calcarenite platform, with scattered reefs off the platform. The reefs result in several permanent rips forming along the beach. The beach is backed by the continuous partly active dune field, with public access at either end, and three tracks from farmland also crossing the dunes. In addition sandy 4 WD tracks parallel much of the beach. The tracks and beach are primarily used by beach fishers.
