Terrigal is the classic Central Coast beach village. Enjoy a swim at a beautiful sandy beach or tranquil lagoon, walk the buzzy Esplanade lined with stately Norfolk pines and cool cafes, then join the locals for a drink at a rooftop bar. It’s also a great spot for swimming, surfing, fishing and water sports.

Terrigal Beach is at the southern end of a long stretch of idyllic white sand, which curls northwards past two lagoons. Trace the coast along lovely walking and cycling trails that loop around Terrigal. Find Wamberal Beach at the northern end and magnificent national parks just a short drive away.
