Summary

Description
English: Freshwater East Bay View south from the dunes towards Trewent Point.

The headland is in the lowest part of the sequence of rocks known as the Old Red Sandstone, and includes a layer of volcanic ash (the Townsend Tuff, exposed on the inaccessible south side of the headland).

The dunes extend northwards over the ridge on which the modern village has been built. A late period of sand encroachment (post 13th century) led to abandonment and burial of an early Christian settlement (radicarbon date c. 550AD).
