It is flanked by the suburbs of Kallaroo to the south, Beldon to the east and Ocean Reef to the north, with Mullaloo Beach to the west. Mullaloo is an Aboriginal word, and was first recorded for a point on the coast near here in 1919.

The beach here was locally known as Mullaloo Beach around the turn of the century. One record of the Aboriginal name records it as meaning "place of the rat kangaroo".
