The locality is bounded to the north by the Coral Sea. The Bruce Highway enter the locality from the south-west (Mount Low / Derragun) and then forms the southern boundary of the locality (separating it from Jensen) and then exits to the south-west (the locality of Black River). [3]
The watercourse Black River enters the locality form the south-west (locality of Black Water / Jensen) and forms the south-west boundary of the locality of Beach Holm. The boundary then extends west of the river before the boundary returns to the river and follows the river to its mouth ( 19°10′43″S146°39′06″E / 19.1786°S 146.6517°E ) on the Coral Sea. [4] The pocket of land on the west of the Black River is inaccessible directly from the locality east of the river. [3]
The coastal strip is sandy and extends along the coast of most of the neighbouring locality of Bushland Beach. The sandy strip is also called Bushland Beach ( 19°11′18″S146°40′23″E / 19.1884°S 146.6731°E ). [5] [6]
