Hallidays Point

Situated a short drive north of Tuncurry, the coastal area of Hallidays Point is 32 square km of rolling forests, farmland and villages tucked between the Lakes Way and the Pacific Ocean. It includes the villages of Tallwoods, Black Head, Red Head and Diamond Beach.

If it's a coastal escape you're after, basing yourself at one of these Hallidays Point villages will allow you to relax, unwind and soak up the laid back lifestyle associated with this well-kept secret of the Barrington Coast.

Hallidays Point Village has a small shopping precinct, bowling club, pub, restaurants and takeaways.

Black Head

Black Head Beach is a multi-award winning beach under the Keep Australia Beautiful Program. The beach is patrolled in the summer months and there's an excellent ocean pool, one of only three on the whole mid north coast (the others being nearby Forster Ocean Baths and much further afield at Sawtell near Coffs Harbour).

There are excellent beach fishing opportunities and a pretty picnic area with barbecues under the shade of Norfolk Island pines that line the entry to the beach. The lagoon that separates the sand dunes to the village centre is one of the many beautiful features of the littoral rainforest nature reserve at Black Head.

Meander along the rainforest walk to the dedicated whale watching platform for expansive views along the coastline.

Black Head is also home one of the biggest markets in the Barrington Coast, Black Head Bazaar, which happens on the first Sunday of the month from September to May.

Red Head

Red Head is a quiet beach area at the northern end of Black Head Beach, ideal for relaxing strolls.

Meander along the Read Head Rainforest Walk which encompasses striking coastal landforms as well as rare tracts of littoral rainforest: a must for nature lovers and keen photographers. Another shorter walk is the Koala Corridor, a 600m stroll with a raised walkway around some ponds and a footbridge across a small watercourse with formed steps.

For walking enthusiasts there is a walking track which takes you from Diamond Head through to Shelley Beach (south of Diamond Beach).
