Beautiful area. Definitely a trek to get there along the beach from camel rock. Approx 20 min clamber over sharp rocks. Need to go at low tide

We parked near camel rock and then did a trail work to see horse head rock. I think it took us 20 mins to get there by foot. The scenery was magnificent and the rock does resemble a horse head.

It was a really nice short walking track. The course is not difficult so the young or elderly can also manage the course. Really recommend it to everyone.

A nice 700m walk in the bush, but some people were giving up since three is no clear sign showing how much further and the path is quite narrow. I still think that the view worths the walk if you’re fit! Also the car park is at the end of the road, instead of the area just off the main road.

Really amazing and worth the effort, short walking track but be careful, another walker on the track got their head on a low tree branch.

A lovely walk but definitely a place to see snakes on the route. Lots of reeds not far from the car park but once you are past these it's mostly cliffside views of the ocean. The walk is about 15-20 minutes to the main lookout, but can be extended a lot further if wanted. Not advisable to walk this alone due to the snake risks.

Prepare to be transported to a dreamy realm when you set your eyes upon the mesmerizing Horse Head Rock. This enchanting rock formation, nestled near Bermagui along the Sapphire Coast, truly lives up to its name. Resembling the elegant neck of a majestic pony, it exudes a sense of grace and mystique. What makes it even more remarkable is its historical significance—boasting an age of over 500 million years, it stands as one of New South Wales' most ancient geological wonders. To fully appreciate the beauty of Horse Head Rock, I recommend visiting the lookout platform, which can be accessed via a scenic 1.5-kilometer elevated walking track between Camel Rock and Murunna Point. While the journey itself is an immersive experience, please keep in mind that if you choose to approach the rock from Camel Rock Surf Beach, access is only possible during low tide and calm seas. Additionally, it is essential to wear appropriate footwear like hiking boots, as the rocks can be quite slippery. Be prepared to be captivated by the ethereal ambiance and surreal beauty that Horse Head Rock offers. It's a destination that will transport you to a realm where dreams and reality intertwine, leaving you with memories that will linger in your heart long after your visit.
