Terrigal Beach

The pleasant ambience may have something to do with the stand of very well-established Norfolk pines along The Esplanade which lend character and beauty to the beachfront. A pathway beneath the trees leads alongside the beach and out to Broken Head where the most prominent natural feature of Terrigal, the oddly-shaped headland known as ‘The Skillion’, stands.

National Parks & The Entrance Reserves

The Entrance derives its name from the narrow channel that divides the mainland and connects Tuggerah Lake to the ocean on the Central Coast of NSW. The Entrance is a popular holiday resort area offering visitors surfing beaches, an enormous lake and a central area which has attractive foreshore parkland (Memorial Park) and a Boardwalk (a pathway from Memorial Park around to the surf lifesaving club). There is also a child-friendly open-air mall called The Waterfront which is full of fountains, cafes and eateries. One of the most popular attractions is the daily feeding of the pelicans in Memorial Park at 3.30pm.
