What tag do you recommend using for heads or points that are away from
the coast?
There seem to be a variety of methods people have used, none of them
particularly satisfactory:
1. Map them as a peak eg Catt Head: natural=peak
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4420272847
I have done a few of these along the Gross Valley. In many cases there
is a peak and I have taken the view that the 'head' is the top of the peak.
2. Map them as a locality eg Inspiration Point: place=locality
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8107812662
3. Map them as a lookout eg Sublime Point: tourism=viewpoint
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/410055825
4. Map them as a point and also a locality, presumably because point
is not rendered by most renderers(?) eg Point Pilcher: natural=point,
place=locality
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6164541885
natural=point only has some ~400 uses world wide, no wiki page so .. low
uses = no rendering. Choosing one of the additional tags will get
rendering .. but it should be appropriate to the feature not just
'tagging for the render'
Here are a couple of unmapped examples:

If it's on the coast, "cape" seems to be the preferred tag:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dcape
However, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for similar features
on land.
Yep.
I have a similar difficulty with club=surf_life_saving,
emergency=lifesaver, lifesaver=base ... as that does not render. If put
on the building then the name of the club renders.. Having gone along
the coast of NSW and put them to nodes and entered a few more off the
DCS Base Map .. I am now going along and setting the details on the
associated building... sigh.
