Cassoway, Leichhardt and Christmas Creeks are three parallel creeks that have all delivered sand to the Halifax Bay shoreline, resulting in the beach building out on the order of several hundred metres. In between the abandoned beaches are mangrove-covered tidal flats. As a result of the low-lying nature of the land, there has been little development of this 6.5 km long section of the bay. There are vehicle access tracks leading to near the mouth of each of the creeks and a few shacks set back from the coast, but otherwise no major settlements or development. Christmas Creek Beach (846) runs from the mouth of Christmas Creek as a 3 km long, well vegetated sand spit, that also increases in width to the north. The low beach faces north-east and is fronted by sand and rock flats up to 1 km wide, that are exposed at low tide. read more
