Black Head Reserve is an exposed, beautiful headland at Gerroa with expansive views down Seven Mile Beach. Dogs can exercise off-leash here, with seasonal restrictions that can apply, so it is worth checking the signage. There is plenty of open space to walk and explore on the headland. A scenic, breezy spot for an off-leash walk with a view.

Great views of the south. Good parking areas. We go there for relatively dark skies for astrophotography
