The beach features some sand near the jetty, with pebbles, mudflats, and marshland further south towards the River Parrett. This varied landscape provides a diverse range of habitats for wildlife to thrive.

From the beach, visitors can watch boats come and go, and spot seabirds foraging. The nearby Stert and Apex Wildlife Park are also home to a variety of seabirds, which can be seen from the beach.
