The heat of summer has arrived and fun activities are here at Black Point. Feel free to join in or just relax on a chair at our beaches, talk to neighbors on a stroll or wave to others having vino on the verada. The choice is yours! But please note Black Point Members and their guests are welcome at most of the activities sponsored by the Black Point Mens’ Club.
