Diamond Beach is a beautiful beach and small surrounding community. - You can take your dogs on the beach though by council regulations they must be leashed. Locals often unleash their dogs though just be careful not to get caught and PLEASE pick up after your dogs :-). - Diamond Beach is great for families to set up for the day in summer though the waves do get a little bigger and rougher here in comparison to Black Head Beach over the headland. - There is always plenty of space on the beach even when in high-summer for you to find your own peaceful area to set up for the day. - It is a lovely walk to walk the length of the beach and back. - There is a small row of shops in Diamond Beach including a hair salon, 2 takeaway food shops (Diamond Beach Takeaway next to the bottle shop is the better one of the two), takeaway pizza, real estate agents and Cellarbrations bottle shop (the best in the area).

A pleasant place to walk or bike ride all the way from the Tavern to the beach and playground (good for children on bikes and scooters). - These pathways also go to the shopping Village - Hallidays Point shopping Village has a small amount of good shops including a Post Office, Bakery, Cafe, Supermarket, Chemist, Hair Salon, Beauty Salon, a nice Indian Restaurant and Real Estate agent.

Red Head is just at the northern end of Black Head. It is a lovely walk along the beach. Very quiet beach with no patrol so not good for children. Dog friendly as long as your dogs are on a lead.

Really good Turkish Restaurant and takeaway. Great for a takeaway Kebab or Gozleme. Though you can dine inside as well in their dining room which is quite nice. Try the Falafels! They are amazing. Open for lunch and dinner though check if they are open by calling beforehand as their hours seem to be unreliable..

Great for standard breakfast and lunch right on the beach at Forster Main Beach. Usually quite busy but worth the wait to sit in the sun and enjoy your coffee and meal. Food ranges from standard eggs benedict to acai bowls to healthy vegetarian options.
