The zone is approximately 650m long and 50m wide. There are modern concrete stairs / ramp access off Riverside, outside the Anchor and Hope public house. This is in good condition, but lacks a handrail and can become slippery at times. There is a short drop from the bottom of the ramp to the foreshore surface. The ground conditions on the site are generally firm at the top of the foreshore area (with some soft patches), however the lower part of the foreshore is completely inaccessible due to dredging.
