The two tidally influenced wetlands mapped as T07 are inter-tidal gravels mixed with sparse seabeach sandwort (Honckenya peploides) cover. One occurs at the mouth of Spruce Creek, then other near the mouth of Sawmill Creek. They are inundated frequently by spring tides, and washed by moderate wave action.
