black rock beach

This hidden stretch of beach offers dramatic cliffs, rockpools, and clear water, making it ideal for exploring and a swim for confident swimmers. Access is via a steep ramp or stairs, but the views over the bay are worth the effort. At the bottom, turn right for rockpools and cliffs or left for the best swimming spots; the rocks are climbable but can be slippery. Tide-dependent pools reveal marine life, and the walk along the shoreline leads all the way to Black Rock Jetty and Half Moon Bay, creating a fun family adventure.
