The Central Coast of New South Wales is located midway between the cities of Sydney and Newcastle,. Over the years its popularity as a superb coastal holiday destination has seen it grow into a highly sought after residential precinct as well. In the south, it is bordered by the magnificent Hawkesbury River system and Broken Bay and in the north it extends to the top of the Tuggerah Lakes system. Along its Pacific Ocean coastline are a string of fabulous surfing beaches, some of which are among the most popular in the state. Names like Copacabana, Avoca, Terrigal, Wamberal, Foresters Beach, The Entrance, and Budgewoi Beach are all icons in the surfing industry.

The largest city on the Central Coast is Gosford, which lies at the northern end of Brisbane Waters. This is an inlet of the Hawkesbury River system and can be accessed by boat through a narrow passage that enters the Central coast at Umina Beach near Woy Woy. Brisbane Water is a magnificent waterway and provides Central Coast residents with a beautiful facility for sailing, boating and fishing. The Central coast is connected to Sydney by train and also one of Australia’s best motorway systems.

To the north of Gosford is the Tuggerah Lakes system which opens to the ocean at The Entrance. This is a large lake system which again gives the locals and visitors alike, the opportunity for engaging in all different types of water sports. The region has now grown into a busy residential area with shopping malls and industrial areas. Places like Toukley, Gorakan, Doyleson, Budgewoi, The Entrance and Killarney Vale are now home to tens of thousands of residents.

Everything is close to the beach on the Central coast and the weekends bring thousands of holidaying Sydney residents to places like Terrigal and The Entrance for a beachside stopover. There is plenty of excellent resort style, apartment and hotel accommodation to cater for this influx of visitors. The Central Coast is an ideal place for a short break away or a convenient seaside weekend. Come and stay for a short break and try not to fall in love with it so much that you have to move to the Central Coast yourself.
