The southernmost beach is North Head Beach (NSW 522), which lies at the end of the North Head track with a 300 m walk down the western slopes to reach the beach. The 300 m long beach is bordered to the east by 500 m long North Head and to the west by the rocks of Three Islet Point, which extends 800 to the southwest. As a result it picks up reduced south swell averaging 1 m, but is well protected from northeast and east waves. It is backed by a low foredune, with a narrow meandering lagoon and creek crossing the eastern end where it has exposed aboriginal middens. Bush camping is permitted in a cleared area on the eastern side of the beach. The beach usually has a steep beach face and no bar, with deep-water close inshore providing a good anchorage in most conditions. Though waves are usually low, this is an isolated location so take care if entering the water.
