Beach WA 921 commences on the northern side of the inshore reef and trends to the north-northwest, past one slight foreland for 3.3 km finally curving more to the west to terminate at the tip of Ledge Point. Waves average about 1 m and break across a narrow bar during higher waves with a reflective beach during more normal conditions. Generally vegetated Holocene transgressive dunes extend 2-3 km in from the beach, with several 4 WD tracks through the dunes to the beach. The northern 500 m of beach is backed by Ledge Point settlement, with a narrow foredune reserve then beachfront houses (Fig. 4.229). Dinghies are launched from the beach to access the fishing boats moor in lee of the reef that lies 500 m off the point.
