This exposed east-facing beach is backed by the famous Tessellated Pavement rock formation — a natural mosaic of eroded dolerite tiles visible at low tide. The bay's crystal-clear waters, rugged sea cliffs, and offshore reefs create an excellent snorkeling environment, with easy shore access from multiple points along the beach. The area is rich in convict-era history as the former Dogline barrier, and the quirky Doo Town community adds local character. A snorkel-tour operator (GoDive) also runs guided seal-swim experiences here.","beginner","published",{"name":58,"amplitude":74,"phase":90,"latitude":22,"model":106,"epoch":107},[59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],0.01288878254376405,0.008562341307081653,0.1625176027252124,0.012417464663252314,0.2765428864827135,0.0029298968963829765,0.008732475615402531,0.0031237297181147625,0.07461111608480264,0.10811637995820242,0.0512523219525258,0.026309541093446093,0.01108767621204379,0.02280306026402482,0.0037230217824996453,[91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105],269.9967197364035,318.5687734858514,298.70636745984837,278.5872624829128,311.89778772064096,243.47222804490912,155.1037891494243,182.70890535420352,299.4296810956431,272.5142363318257,293.6300373658933,251.34995199726336,24.028429365277844,317.72551722665406,242.4652795873394,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[109,114,117],{"name":110,"description":111,"severity":112,"season_start":113,"season_end":113},"Rip currents","East-facing beach exposed to the Tasman Sea; rip currents can form, especially on the northern end near Tessellated Pavement when surf is up.","caution",null,{"name":115,"description":116,"severity":112,"season_start":113,"season_end":113},"Surge at Tessellated Pavement","The rock platform at the northern end can be slippery and subject to wave surge even on calm days.
