Terrigal, NSW 2260

One of the best-known beaches on the Central Coast, Terrigal is renowned for its golden sand, tranquil lagoon, cafe culture and idyllic beachside vibe.

Loved by locals and visitors, Terrigal is a popular spot for swimming, surfing and socialising. Start your day with a coffee overlooking the ocean at one of the trendy cafes along the vibrant Esplanade, then enjoy a scenic walk along the Terrigal Boardwalk to Terrigal Haven, a protected boat harbour with boat ramp and barbecue facilities.

Terrigal's patrolled beach is ideal for surfing, while the beautiful rockpool at the southern end of Terrigal Beach is popular with families. Directly behind Terrigal Beach you will find Terrigal Lagoon, a great place for immersing yourself in nature by hiring a paddle boat or learning to stand up paddle board.

After a long day in the sunshine, local's can be found enjoying cocktails and sunset views on the rooftops of Mumbo Jumbo's or Rhonda's, while the atmosphere of a live band at Terrigal Beach House is also a popular choice

Terrigal promises a relaxed coastal lifestyle just over one hours drive from Sydney. With beautiful walkways, bike tracks, parks and quality schools, it's the perfect place for raising children, or simply enjoying a weekend away from the big city.
