A strip of calcarenite forms the western side of the cape, with beach WA 1875 curving to the east for 1.8 km (Fig. 4.399). It is a steep high tide reflective beach backed by low calcarenite bluffs to the east and fronted by 500 m wide sand flats. Sand moves eastward along the beach and forms recurved spits towards the eastern end. Beach WA 1876 commences at the eastern tip and trends due south then southeast for 3.5 km, the finally 1 km a low narrow spit that forms the western side of the 1 km wide tidal creek at the mouth of the Yule River.
