Beach 8 and Tower Beach are two small beaches backed by steep vegetated bluffs. Beach 8 can be reached on foot around the craggy rocks at the southern end of Surf Beach, and from a vehicle track to the rear of the beach. It is 250 m in length and is bordered by jagged rock headlands, with large rocks outcropping on the beach and in the surf. The sandy beach usually has a continuous attached bar, which is cut by two to three rips following high seas.
