Corambirra Point and its 400 m long breakwater forms the southern entrance. At the base of the 800 m long head is 150 m long Gallows beach (NSW 112), whose surf zone is a northern continuation of the neighbouring Boambee Beach. This beach has rocks at both ends and is sometimes eroded back to rocks exposing a cobble beach. The large car park for the Coffs Harbour boat ramp backs the beach providing good access. The Gallows surf break is located out on Corambirra Point.
