Beach is littered with small sticks/shells/coral and small pebbles. Top of the beach is soft sand as the tide rarely reaches there. This beach is normally only used on NE to NW winds and at high tides, when there's no beach available at 'The Dome'. This is actually a small creek mouth, which is only joined with the sea at high tide. There is always enough space to launch/land here.
