To the south of Observation Point spreads the residential settlement of Batehaven, which fronts onto Caseys Beach (NSW 534), a curving 800 m long east-facing beach, extending from the point, south to the next rocky headland, with rocks and reefs extending off each headland (Fig. 4.374). The main Beach Road runs along the rear of the beach, in places encroaching onto the beach, where it is protected by a seawall. Parking and picnic facilities are available at either end of the beach, including one on Observation Point, with a caravan park opposite the south end. Waves average less than 0.5 m and usually maintain a shallow continuous bar the length of the beach. The beach narrows in the centre where it is clipped by the road, while Short Creek drains across the southern end of the beach.
