To the south of Jimmies Island is a 1.3 km wide east-facing rocky bay bordered to the south by 1 km long Burrewarra Point. Four beaches (NSW 549-552) are located along the 1 km long western shore of the bay. Nuns beach (NSW 549) is located is a gap in the bluffs, immediately west of Jimmies Island beach. It consists of a 150 m long pocket of southwest-facing sand bordered and backed by bluffs rising to 20 m. It receives waves averaging about 1 m which maintain a low gradient 100 m wide bar, and by a permanent rip against the western rocks. It can be accessed down the slopes from the point or with difficulty around the rocks from Rosedale. One hundred metres to the south is the next gap in the bluffs containing Blacks beach (NSW 550), a 100 m long southeast-facing pocket of sand, bordered and backed by 20 m high bluffs, and a well developed 50 m wide rock platform along the southern side of the small bay. Waves averaging over 1 m break over a reef and bar up to 150 m offshore, with a permanent rip draining out a 50 m wide gap in the rocks towards the southern side of the beach. read more
