Lacapede Bay is the name of the low energy bay extending from Cape Jaffa to Kingston SE. While dominated by low waves, the bay contains large seagrass covered sand waves, that apparently move very slowly eastward along the bay. Where the sand wave attached the shore, the shoreline protrudes up to 300 m seaward. These protrusions give the bay shore a crenulate character (Fig. 4.24). The 7.5 km section of beach (148B) faces north west, is low, narrow and usually covered with seagrass. The entire beach section is backed by 500 m of densely vegetated foredune ridges, including the salt Hog Lake, then cleared sheep paddocks. Butchers Gap drain forms the northern boundary with Wyomi Beach, and public access is limited to either end at Kings Camp or Wyomi beach. The ridges and salt lakes associated with Butcher Gap drain are part of the Butchers Gap Conservation Park. read more
