Beach WA 279 lies another 1.5 km to the west and is a south-facing 200 m long beach composed of a boulder high tide beach, fronted by a low gradient sandy beach and 150 m wide energetic surf zone. It is wedged in between a steep eastern headland and a lower rocky point, with rips running out along each boundary. It is backed by a vegetated foredune that has partly filled the entrance to the small valley, with a creek bed running along the western side of the valley to the beach. Twin Bays is on open southeast-facing bay located 2 km east of 440 m high Mid Mount Barren. It occupies the mouth of a steep valley bordered by the mount to the west and 500 m high Thumb Peak, 4 km to the east. A vehicle track runs down the heath-covered valley to reach the rear of the eastern bay beaches. The eastern side of Twin Bays consists of four near continuous beaches (WA 280-283) each separated and partly dominated by fingers of protruding metasedimentary rocks. The beaches are linked by a continuous 150 m wide, high energy, rip-dominated surf zone. read more
