This site is located at the southern end of Old Home Beach and receives moderate visitation by tidepoolers. This moderately sloping site consists of extremely uneven terrain, containing many deep cracks and folds.

Old Home Beach is dominated by a mixture of consolidated bedrock, boulder fields, and cobble beach, and the area surrounding the site is comprised of a mixture of boulder fields, cobble beach, and sandy beach. The primary coastal orientation of this site is south/southwest/southeast.
