A large number of coastal middens containing charcoal, stones and the remains of shellfish can be found along the coast and around Shallow Inlet. These are the remains of campsites used by Brataualung and are up to 6000 years old. Earlier sites have been covered by rising sea levels. The Shallow Inlet Marine and Coastal Park was declared in 1986 in recognition of the area's habitat values for migratory wading birds and shorebirds.
