At the southern end of the beach small boats can be launched and a small creek drains onto the beach. Waves are usually between 0.5-1m because of the beaches protected nature.

There are two permanent riptides on both the north and south headland. The southern headland goes out 300m and continues until Shelly Beach. The northern point is called Seagull Point. The beach is accessible by both foot and car. Small boats can also be launched from the beach and motored around the beach in good conditions.

Conditions are good for swimming as conditions are usually calm and the beach patrolled although there can be some rough surf usually after storms and rain. There is a very low shore break for surfing. Fishing is usually done off the rocks.
