Darby Beach can be reached by following the walking track from Darby River car park. The one km stroll takes you through native vegetation including Coast Ballart, Bower Spinach, Saltbush, Black-anther Flax-lily and Kangaroo Apple.

Darby Beach is a popular surfing spot and has a rugged isolated feel. The two main rock types that make up the Prom can be see here. To the north are 40,000 year old sand dunes of the Yanakie Isthmus, hardened by lime from shell fragments into a rock called calcarenite. To the south the rock is granite, formed about 380 million years ago.
