YCW is the acronym of the Young Catholic Workers Camp, which lies on the grassy bluffs immediately behind the beach. A road leads to the camp and a car park on the eastern Smith Point. The beach faces south-east, with basalt headlands and rock platforms at each end, and a 400 m long sand beach in between them. The beach receives waves averaging 1 m and usually has a beach that is awash at high tide. The waves then break over a narrow cobble beach between the sand and the backing 10 to 30 m high bluffs. In contrast, at low tide the beach is wide, low and shallow, with rips running out against each head.
