Moondah Beach is a 1.5 km long, west facing beach located at the end of Kuinyung St. Parking is limited to a small car park, and steps lead down the bluffs to the beach. Densely vegetated, 20 to 30 m high bluffs back most of the beach, with a few boat sheds near the steps. To the south, a small, red bluff separates it from Sunnyside North, while increasing rocks and reefs to the north finally form a boundary with the northern 250 m long Earimil Beach. Earimil Beach is dominated by the intertidal rock and reef flats.
The beaches are well exposed to westerly winds and waves which, during storm conditions, have built a 150 m wide double bar at Moondah Beach. The double bar is cut by rips every 200 m, with permanent rip holes existing against the rocks. Earimil Beach is dominated by the rocks and has no bars.
