The cliffs of the park are formed by Waitemata Group sandstone. The northern section of the park features large pōhutukawa trees and regenerating native bush.[3] The regional park is adjacent to the Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve, a 980-hectare reserve extending from Karepiro Bay to Torbay.[1]
The beach area is backed with sand dunes, which include restoration areas of pīngao and spinifex.[1]
