Autumn on the Central Coast

Autumn garden on Central Coast

Discover a change this Autumn

Autumn is arguably one of the prettiest seasons on the Central Coast, when the region falls into an array of earthy tones of golden yellows and warm reds. Festivals fill the weekends and family friendly events can be found in our towns. 

It's a time to explore the hidden hinterland and discover farm gates offering their local produce while meandering down winding roads and bushy trails. Head to coast to linger a little longer and search for whales as they start their migration North.

Take in the food and drinks scene as restaurants offer new seasonal menus utilising the produce from our local growers.

Fall in love with the Central Coast all over again this Autumn.
