South of Cape Manifold Beach the coast continues roughly due south and consists of prominent, 80 m high headlands separating a series of five boulder and sand beaches. All beaches and headlands are backed by the massive, now vegetated parabolic dune field. Beaches 1351 and 1352 lie 500 m further south, around a small headland. These two adjoining beaches are both 200 m long, face east and are separated at high tide by a low, rocky outcrop. At low tide they form one continuous beach and bar. Beach 1351 has a low, narrow, sandy high tide beach backed by bluffs, while 1352 has a steep, cobble-boulder high tide beach and the same low gradient, 150 m wide intertidal to low tide bar (Fg. 4.74). The waves average 0.6 m and there are usually three rips, one at each headland and one in the centre.
