About Horse Head Rock
Horse Head Rock is a distinctive natural coastal rock formation located just south of Bermagui in Bega Valley Shire, New South Wales. The eroded headland resembles a horse drinking from the ocean and is accessed via a short coastal walking track from Camel Rock. Situated within the scenic Sapphire Coast, it is notable for its unusual shape, dramatic ocean setting, and photogenic appearance at low tide, making it a popular stop for sightseers exploring the Bermagui coastline.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a short coastal walk from the Camel Rock car park to a rugged headland overlooking the Tasman Sea. The main feature is a naturally eroded rock platform and cliff that resembles a horse's head bowed to drink. The setting is exposed coastal heath and sandstone cliffs with ocean views, rock platforms and small beaches. There are no buildings at the rock itself; visitors explore the viewing area and surrounding rock platform at low tide for photography and sightseeing.
