Its boundaries were created in March 2002 for the "long established name" which was derived from the adjoining bay.[2] The locality occupies land on the western shore line of the Bay of Shoals.[2]

The principal land use is agriculture while a strip of land along the coastline is zoned for conservation in order to "enhance and conserve the natural features of the coast."[8]
