Rock platforms are generally flat, wave eroded, inter-tidal areas usually at the base of rocky headlands. They have a rich biodiversity, often predictably distributed as a result of interactions with biotic and abiotic factors.

Waves and tides are major physical factors and many of the plants and animals that inhabit rock platforms are adapted to their influence. Crevices, boulders, rock pool and cobbles provide micro environments that suite different species.

The Wonga Point rock platform and the relatively safe protected beach is situated south of the caravan park and is a popular spot for family recreation such as fishing, snorkelling, spear fishing, surfing and exploring. These activities can impact on the biodiversity of the rock platform through littering and the collection of animals and plants.
