The present club, kiosk, café, playground and volley ball courts are surrounded by car parks and reserves. The beach, apart from the groyne, is straight and relatively steep and reflective, with a continuous attached bar forming during higher waves.
Rip channels tend to be absent in summer, however during winter storms and any period of higher waves they will cut channels across the bar every 100 to 200 m.
The 3 km of beach between Floreat and Scarborough is backed by a 200 m wide dune reserve, with occasional car parks and the foredune rising to 10-15 m. This is a more difficult to assess section with less usage.
