Water-feature is really a narrow, 21 ha brackish lagoon alongside Lengthy Bay Village, close to the south-western finish from the primary island. Its north-western shore is separated from Meads Bay with a thin strip of land, an old dune, that has a road and tourism developments. The substrate is marl around the northern side and limestone around the southern.
