The beaches are undeveloped, with a 4WD access track running up the eastern side of Black Head and reaching the coast at the western end of the western Black Head beach (1424).
Along the western side of Black Head is a narrow, crenulate sand beach (1425) fronted by the 100 m wide tidal shoals of the creek mouth.
