The southern limit of Brighton Beach, this wilderness of sedge grass, hummocky dunes and stunted shrubs is an important bird-nesting area. There is good surfcasting at the mouth of the Estuary, but exercise care when fishing or swimming, as there are strong rips and unpredictable currents. There is a walking track and several information panels outlining some of the plant and bird life at Spit Reserve (at the end of the spit). At this point, it is only a short distance across to Shag Rock on the Sumner shore; so short you could almost "spit" across the divide.
