Bramston Point forms a major promontory. The backing slopes rise to 560 m and its densely vegetated slopes run right down to the shoreline, where the tropical vegetation overhangs the steep, narrow beaches that fringe the base. It is composed of granitic rocks, and large granite boulders and rocks border all beaches, breaking some of the beaches into a series of smaller sandy pockets. There is no vehicle or foot access to these beaches and no facilities.
Bramston Point Beach (752) begins on the south side of the point. It faces north-east and consists of a 3 km series of nine pockets of sand, each separated from the next by clumps of granite rocks and boulders. In addition, rocks outcrop on most of the beaches. The beaches are all relatively steep, with a narrow high tide beach overhung with trees, and a 50 m wide low tide bar, that usually has some rocks.
