Soapy Rocks refers to the eroding, red bluffs that back the beach. They also outcrop on the beach as slippery rocks (hence the name Soapy) and in the surf at either end of the 750 m long beach. The beach lies between Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club and Point Roadknight Beach and is protected by Point Roadknight and its easterly orientation. There is a patrol tower - lookout above the centre of the beach. Access is from the western Soapy Rocks car park and along the beach from Anglesea or Point Roadknight. Beware of the unstable cliffs and slippery (soapy) rocks which make this a hazardous beach to access on foot.
The beach receives waves averaging less than 1 m. They break along a continuous bar, with wave height and the likelihood of rips increasing toward Anglesea.
Beach Length: 0.75km
