Photography:
There is not much to photograph, but if you want to try, macro is more likely to produce usable results.
Topography:
The sandy beach slopes fairly steeply in the surf zone, then the flat sand bottom with a reef of small scattered rounded boulders about 300 mm high, and a rocky shore to the south of the beach. The northern boundary of the site is the concrete blocks of the harbour breakwater.
