Why Terrigal?

The NSW Central Coast’s most iconic seaside holiday destination, Terrigal, offers much more than a summer playground. This bustling town’s appeal lies in its grand accessibility. Beach, boardwalk, boutiques, cafés, markets, ice cream parlours, hotels, bars, nightlife, and fine dining burst out of stylish shopfronts dotted along the bustling Esplanade. Seek adventure below the surface in The Haven, or atop The Skillion with its 360-degree coastal vistas.

Locals and visitors from afar are drawn to its laid-back vibe, adventurous experiences and standout local hospitality. Terrigal is home to iconic landmarks and local favourites such as:

Terrigal Beach

The golden sands that run along the hub of Terrigal is a great spot for families and friends to catch sunrise swims and experience and quintessential Aussie day on the beach.

The Skillion

From this striking headland, soak in the sweeping views of the Central Coast, from Avoca through to Forresters Beach. It makes a great spot for whale watching in wintertime too.

Terrigal Boardwalk and The Haven

Venture just outside the hustle and bustle of the Esplanade and walk along the wooden boardwalk to The Haven, a great spot for snorkelling and swimming for kids.

The Esplanade

The Esplanade is a buzzing hub of beachside dining, packed with flavour and coastal flair. Stroll along and you’ll find standout spots such as Pocket Bar, Swells, Thaiger Temple, Bellyfish Cafe, Meribella and Terrigal Beach House.
