Beach WA 599 is bordered in the east by Black Point, a 1 km long 60 m high headland. The 1.3 km long beach faces straight into the southwest waves which average about 2 m and break across a 300 m wide surf zone usually dominated by two central beach rips, with a strong permanent rip running out against the point, and a lefthand surf breaking along the point. To the west the beach is bordered by rock reefs with waves breaking over reefs up to 400 m offshore. A small foreland has formed in lee of the reef beach, with the beach continuing on the western side of the foreland as a slightly lower energy beach for another 100 m to boundary 60 m high calcarenite cliffs. The beach is backed by three large blowouts that have climbed up to 80 m over the backing dunes and calcarenite and blown 1 km inland (Fig. 4.123). There is vehicle access to the point and a track down the Stepping Stones to the eastern end of the beach. The track terminates at a basalt boulder and cobble swash zone before reaching the sand beach. Beach WA 599 is bordered in the east by Black Point, a 1 km long 60 m high headland.

The track terminates at a basalt boulder and cobble swash zone before reaching the sand beach. This is a hazardous high energy beach and dangerous for both for rock fishing and swimming.
