Finlaysons Point and Redcliffe Island.
Finlaysons Point forms the northern boundary of Seaforth beach and is a 1.5 kilometre, low, rocky, north‐east facing headland. Two sandy beaches are located on the point where there are breaks in the mangrove‐fringed, or rocky shoreline. At low tide, sand and rock flats connect the mainland with Redcliffe Island (National Park).
You might also plan to make a day of it by taking a walk out to Redcliffe Island. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF TIDE TIMES AND THE FACT THAT TIDES COME IN FAST.
