The Fingal Beaches lie on the western side of Cape Schanck. They can be reached along the walking tracks from Cape Schanck and Fingal Picnic Area car parks. The two beaches are remnants of a once large beach, that supplied sand to the backing cliff-top dunes. Today they have been eroded down to the present strip of sand, fronted by rock platforms and reefs. They are backed by the 40 m high calcarenite cliffs with the active dunes on top.
Both beaches face south-west into the full force of the westerly winds and waves. The waves break on the offshore reefs and rocks; and the narrow beaches are only active at high tide.
