is located on Yeppoon - Emu Park Scenic Highway, just south of Lammermoor Beach and opens out into the Coral Sea which is part of the South Pacific Ocean. You won't miss this spot as there is about 25 metres of red-earth coloured ground stabilisation that's placed on the slope near . This ground stabilisation was put there after a huge landslide around this area because of Cyclone Marcia in 2015.

Dominated with bedrock, is a perfect place to do rock hopping and to find some rock pools during low tide. You have to be extra cautious to swim in this area during high tide because sometimes we couldn't see any rock underneath. Wearing wet shoes would be a much safer choice.

There are some beach access points to along Yeppoon - Emu Park Scenic Highway with limited places for car parking. Just be careful to cross a small path between the carpark and the beach as plenty of electric scooters will pass that area.

Besides beach activity, is also an excellent spot for fishing. With Cod, Tuna and Mackerel, as well as Barramundi, Queenfish, Bream, Whiting and Blue Salmon, being the main choices at , you can also find big Black Jew cruising around with the incoming tide at night.
