The island consists of gravel and sand and is approximately 100 yards long.[5]
Stone Island is marked on Admiralty Chart 2611.[6] The island is hardly aptly named, as it consists merely of sand and only pokes above the surface at low tide, hence the beacon. As there is no ferry to the island, it can be accessed only by private vessel.[7]
