There is vehicle access via Point Drummond to a car park in lee on the northern end of the beach, where waves are generally less than1m in height. However south of the car park wave height rapidly increases and a 300 m wide rip dominated surf zone, can contain up to 20 rip in the inner surf zone, with larger rips in the outer surf zone. Generally active sand dunes up to 2 km wide back the entire beach, with farmland further inland, and 160 m high Mount Drummond in the south.
