Little Marley (NSW 342) lies 500 m to the south, and unlike its bigger namesake, is not only smaller at 110 m in length, but sheltered behind a low sandstone head and reef off its southern end, which reduce waves to less then 1 m. As a result the beach faces east and is steep and reflective. However waves breaking over the southern reef generate a permanent rip flowing out of the small, apparently calm bay.
