Orientation, sun and shore

JunDecNESW

The shore faces south (180°). Open water fills about 19% of the horizon close by, which makes it a sheltered cove or bay.

At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 246° to 293°, behind the land.

Straight out to the south there is open water for more than 2,000 km, so the beach is exposed to long ocean swell. The beach is on an island of about 127,229 km².

The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 83 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 53 m above sea level 500 m inland and 77 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.

Within 1 km, the land is 85% tree cover, 7% grassland and 3% cropland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 22% of that circle.
