Located just a few metres east of Unconformity Cave, a narrow (max. 1m-wide) sand-floored supratidal slot has formed along the line of an eroded pegmatite intrusion. The initial 2m of the 4.5m-long slot is technically a geo due to it being open to the sky, albeit by a void measuring just a few inches wide.
