The Southern Gateway to the Central Coast

Only a 90-minute drive from Sydney or Newcastle, the Central Coast Peninsula is the perfect destination for a day trip or short-term stay.

Ettalong Beach is nestled between two National Park the Peninsula and is a hidden jem you need to discover.

The town’s shopping strip includes a variety of cafes, restaurants, home wares, fashion, hairdressing, 24/7 gym and massage therapists. Fine dining cuisines include Italian, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Turkish, Japanese, Bistro 51 & Street Food Kitchen @ Ettalong Diggers and we even have our own Sicilian Bakery for that great southern Italian flavour. With over 40 cafes & restaurants within a 2km radius you will be spoilt for choice with dining options from cuisines all over the world.

Take a walk along Ettalong’s shared walk and bike path along the Esplanade and you will soon notice the locals – they are the ones who look relaxed! Ettalong is also a wonderful place for kayaking, paddle boarding and look out for the local dolphins, seals, and Penguins at Lion Island.

Book a Whale Watching Tour with Fantasea Cruising or a Historical Boat Tour with Central Coast Ferries.

Only a 5-minute drive north you will find the town of Woy Woy and south Umina Beach with both areas having numerous attractions, markets, and great dining facilities.

There is Pelican Feeding at Fisherman’s Wharf or take in the breathtaking views of the Mt Ettalong Lookout.
