The area is largely agricultural, with small patches of commercial forest. The coastline is most low-lying, however sizable sea-cliffs are present in the south of the peninsula, at Doorin Point, and a small sand beach is located in the west of the peninsula. Extensive wave-cut platforms are exposed along the peninsula at low tide.
