Tucked into Hallidays Point on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Black Head Beach is one of those rare spots that still feels like a local secret. Quietly stunning, naturally welcoming, and just five minutes from BIG4 Happy Hallidays Holiday Park — this is the kind of place where mornings stretch long, kids roam free, and the water invites you back in for “just one more swim.”
Why You’ll Love Black Head Beach
With its sweeping curve of golden sand, shady Norfolk pines and gentle headland breeze, Black Head Beach sets the scene for a classic Aussie beach day. It’s patrolled during summer, so it's a great choice for safe swimming, especially for families. There’s space to spread out, explore and soak up the salty air without feeling crowded.
But this beach’s real charm? It’s got a little bit of everything:
- The Black Head Ocean Pool – a natural rock pool filled with seawater, perfect for early morning laps or lazy floats in the afternoon.
- The Rock Pools – a low-tide wonderland where kids (and big kids) can spot tiny fish, crabs and shells. They’re at the southern end of the beach and best explored barefoot.
- Shady picnic spots – ideal for lunch breaks between swims, with nearby BBQs and plenty of space to roll out a towel or set up a picnic.
How to Get There from BIG4 Happy Hallidays
Getting to Black Head Beach is as breezy as the headland air:
- By car: Just a 5-minute drive from BIG4 Happy Hallidays Holiday Park. Head south on Homestead Heights Road, turn left onto Diamond Beach Road, and follow the signs to Main Street, Black Head. You’ll find parking near the surf club.
- By bike: It’s a scenic 15-minute ride with glimpses of bush and coast along the way.
- On foot: If you’re up for a longer stroll, you can follow the local walking paths through Hallidays Point — ask our park team for the best route on the day.
Local Tips for the Perfect Beach Day
- Grab your coffee or brekkie at The Point Bakery Café before hitting the sand.
- Low tide is best for rockpool exploring — don’t forget the camera.
- Pack a picnic or stock up at Hallidays Point Foodworks, just a few minutes away.
- Bringing your pup? Back Beach, just around the corner, is dog-friendly and a favourite with locals.
