Welcome to the Central Coast...

Less than an hour north of Sydney, the New South Wales Central Coast is a stark contrast to bustle of the State capital. The sleepy relaxed hamlets and coastal villages are surrounded by superb beaches, inland waterways and lush national parks. The coastal wilderness once provided a rich environment for it's Aboriginal inhabitants, and remnants of their habitation can be viewed in the various national parks. The more infamous history of European settlement is also on display through the conservation of historic buildings and the colonial theme park, Old Sydney Town.

Time spent in the Central Coast can be busy or relaxed, the decision is up to you. Fishing and boating on the various waterways are popular activities, as are browsing through antique stores and lazing back on golden beaches. There's no shortage of excellent restaurants and cafes, many in scenic waterfront locations and the Coast's accommodation is of similar quality and abundance.
