Hearson Cove beach (WA 1796) occupies the western shore of the cove. The steep, shell-rich, 800 m long beach high tide faces east across 600 m wide low gradient tidal mud flats, with a few mangroves growing at the northern end of the beach (Figs. 2.20 and 4.388). It is backed by a low foredune, then a 200-300 m wide foredune plain, then salt flats that link to King Bay 3.5 km to the west. The beach and salt flats tie the Burrup Peninsula to the mainland. A gravel road runs out to the southern end of the beach, which is a popular tourist, picnic and swimming destination. It is however only suitable for swimming at mid to high tide as the wide tidal flats are exposed at low tide.
