Located midway between Taree and Forster is the coastal area of Hallidays Point, taking in Black Head Beach.
Black Head Beach is a multi-award-winning beach under the Keep Australia Beautiful Program. It is patrolled during summer and regarded as one of the best swimming beaches in the Manning Valley. It features shady Norfolk Island Pines, an ocean pool, excellent fishing opportunities, picnic areas and barbecues.
Black Head has a supermarket, cafés, bowling club, and surf lifesaving club. The Black Head Markets are held in Wylie Breckenridge Park on the first Sunday of the month, from September to May.
The Black Head Surf Lifesaving Club overlooks the beach and is available to hire for functions.
Meander along the rainforest walk which encompasses striking coastal landforms and rare tracts of littoral rainforest, a must for nature lovers and keen photographers.
An absolutely beautiful beach in Forster, the water was so blue and clear, there was some waves but a lot calmer than most of the other beaches we visited. This became my favourite beach in the area and we ended up staying most of the day here 😍

Nice walking path from the river to the beach, also easy walking to the pool. The beach was was very clean, a bit of sea weed around, but was ok, great for families. lots of parking for off season, but too crowded on season.

Small but peaceful spot with nearby parking and facilities. The ocean pool is a nice option and the beach collects plenty of shells after a storm. With a playground and benches it's also kid friendly. Some stretches of sand are steep so pick your spot carefully.

Gorgeous beach with a playground and BBQ area. It was disappointing that the last people to use the BBQ did not clean it. I had to spend almost an hour scraping off and cleaning burnt marinade. Please be considerate and leave the BBQs clean for the next person 😊✌🏽
