Ettalong Beach on the Central Coast of NSW has a dizzying array of attractions. You can bask on white sandy beaches, dine at waterfront restaurants or motor around the beautiful waterways by boat. The area's rugged and magnificent national parks make it popular for swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing.

Southeast of Ettalong Beach, along Broken Bay, you will find more swathes of empty white sand beaches curving around the coastline. Day-trippers can connect the dots between Ocean Beach Umina, Umina Beach and Pearl Beach.

For those who enjoy aquatic adventures, Ettalong Beach has excellent boating facilities: hire a small boat or kayak and cast a fishing line in on the tranquil waterways. The gentle swell at Ocean Beach Umina is ideal for young children learning to surf – enrol your little ones in the Central Coast Surf School.
