One of Hawke's Bay's 'Top 5' swimming spots for water quality, Blackhead Beach is the main access point on the southern end of Te Angiangi Marine Reserve. The sandy beach is popular during summer for swimming, surfing, diving and fishing.
Vehicle access is prohibited on the reef platform to protect the fragile ecosystem, but there is vehicle access on the sandy track by the hill.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
