Quarry Beach is named after a disused gravel quarry that now serves as a small car park toward the northern end of the beach. The sandy beach is 1 100 m in length and is bordered by prominent 20 to 30 m high jagged headlands, formed of steeply dipping metamorphic rocks. These rocks also outcrop along the beach and in the surf. Waves averaging just over 1 m arrive at the beach, to produce, along with scour holes next to the larger rocks, a continuously attached bar, that is usually cut by rips every 250 m.
Beach Length: 1.1km
