Glendower Point and the backing peninsula protrude 4 km to the north-east, tapering down into two beach-connected islets, ending at the 35 m high point. The point also forms the northern headland for Ince Bay; a low energy, 8 km wide, box-shaped bay that is bordered in the south by Cape Palmerston. The coast for 3 km south of the point is dominated by 10 to 20 m high rocky bluffs of the point, together with a series of five beaches lying between and below the bluffs, with some extensive areas of intertidal rock flats. Waves, which average just under 0.5 m at the point, decrease into the bay as extensive tidal flats begin to front the high tide beaches.
Beach 1163 is similar in length and orientation only with slightly wider sand and rock flats. The 4WD track to the point reaches the coast at the northern end of this beach. GLENDOWER POINT (south 4) GLENDOWER POINT (south 5)
