The town is on the northernmost tip of the peninsula split across three areas of housing, one on the north-west side of the tip facing Thirsty Sound and two on the north-east side.[5] The area is a popular weekend retreat from Rockhampton and offers fishing and crabbing.[6]

On the eastern Shoalwater Bay side of the peninsula are six disconnected sections of land collectively constituting the Shoalwater Conservation Park.[5]

Apart from the residential areas of the town and the conservation park, the remainder of the land within locality is used for grazing on native vegetation.[5]
