The town of Flinders lies behind the elongated Flinders Point. Beaches lie either side of the point, with two sheltered beaches on the east side called Dodds Creek and Kennon Cove. These sheltered beaches face east and are backed by 20 to 40 m high, vegetated bluffs. Dodds Creek Beach is 400 m long; has the creek draining across the southern end; houses perched on the bluffs; and 100 to 200 m wide reef flats in front. Kennon Cove is 1.2 km long, with a 300 m long jetty in the centre and bluffs to either side. A car park, slipway and picnic area are located south of the jetty. Waves are usually very low and sand flats extend 200 m off the beach, beyond which there are boat moorings. Flinders Yacht Club and a Marine Rescue facility are located at the southern end of the beach.
