Blacks Beach, located off Junction Road at Barrack Point, benefits from natural protection against the predominant north-east winds, thanks to Barrack Point's positioning. This creates a more sheltered and enjoyable spot for beachgoers. Facilities include an outdoor shower and nearby public toilets for convenience. View our patrol times below:
