Black Point is a large cuspate foreland that protrudes 3 km in to the gulf. The northern side faces northeast into the more protected embayment called Port Alfred, whereas the east side faces straight into the gulf. The northern beach (275) curves round for 4.3 km from Rocky Point to the Black Point. It is a continuous low energy sandy beach with seagrass growing almost to the shore. The beach is initially backed by sloping grassy bluffs as far as the landing. The old landing half way along the beach is now the site of a concrete boat ramp, to the east of which is a continuous row of more than 100 beachfront shacks, some of which are using a variety of techniques to combat episodic erosion. Many of the shacks have boat ramps to the beach and numerous boats are moored off the beach. A gravel road parallels the back of the shacks out to the point. read more
