Beaches &

Surfing

Terrigal’s exposed beach is ideal for surfing. You can learn to surf with the Central Coast Surf School or Central Coast Surf Academy. The pretty rockpool at the southern end of Terrigal Beach is popular with families. Children will love learning about sea creatures at the informative Central Coast Marine Discovery Centre.

Drink

Start the day with a coffee overlooking the ocean at one of the trendy cafes or restaurants along the vibrant Esplanade strip. Come evening, head to the rooftops at Mumbo Jumbo’s and Rhonda's for cocktails and sunset views or enjoy the atmosphere of a live band at Terrigal Beach House at the Crowne Plaza Terrigal.

Adventures

Soak up panoramic views from The Skillion lookout, an easy walk southeast from Terrigal Beach to Broken Head. You might even spot humpback whales during their annual migration between May and November. Just off the coast in 32m of water is the Ex-HMAS Adelaide, an old warship scuttled to create an artificial reef that’s popular with divers.
