The Central Coast

The Central Coast is a thriving region that begins on the northern outskirts of Sydney and spreads all the way up the coast towards the western edge of Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle.

Several enchanting national parks scatter the coast including Bouddi, Popran, Brisbane Waters, Dharug, and Wyrrabalong. All offer access to gorgeous outdoor spaces within reach of major towns and cities.

The Central Coast region has so much to offer so what are you waiting for? Get exploring!
