A band of beachrock extends for 300 m east of the point to the beginning of beach WA 1713 that continues to the east for 5.5 km as a slightly crenulate beach to the next protruding beachrock point (Fig. 4.378). The beach is an older Holocene barrier that has been lithified into beachrock, which is exposed in places along the shore. It is backed by a 20 m high foredune, and a 200-300 m wide series of older lower foredunes, then 2 km wide salt flats. A vehicle track parallels the rear of the mangroves out to the point. Mangroves fringe the eastern end of the beach in lee of the point, which protrudes 600 m to the north.
