 Top 5 Best Beaches on The Central Coast NSW

Craving a beach holiday with the family? The Central Coast has many hidden and not so hidden coastal treasures. Here are our top 5 beaches you need to visit this summer.

It is the Australian holiday of choice for most families.  The classic beach holiday complete with beach cricket, sausage sandwiches and multiple ocean dips.

Regardless of if prefer a surf beach, rock pool or a gentle swell - The Central Coast has a beach to suit everyone.


With so many to choose from you really can't go wrong, but we have drilled them down to our favorite 5 - each with their own unique qualities and all super close to one of our beautiful homes so your beach holiday can be elevated with a luxury home away from home.


  1. Avoca Beach - Commercial and Busy Patrolled Surf Beach with Kids rock pool, kids playground, cafes and restaurants.  Great for the little ones with a rock pool separate to the surf, playground and cafe super close to the beach
  2. MacMasters Beach - Surf Beach with rock pool - Patrolled Beach -  Great walk from MacMasters to Copacobana when tides allow.
  3. Little Beach - Off Grid -Camping, fishing and coastal bush walks.  Great for those wanting to go off grid.  The campground has 8 spots, no running water and bbqs. 
  4. Pearl Beach - Off Grid - Calm waters (except for North End) - Rock Pool Cafe and Restaurant No Patrol - a great playground for the kids and the arboretum is great for nature lovers.
  5. Patonga Beach - Quite - Cove Calm waters - Great restaurant - Fishing -  Coast walk -  Ferry to Patonga - No Patrol.  The very end of the peninsula looking back over to Palm Beach.  Take the ferry over to Palm beach for the day.  The walk over to Pearl Beach is amazing with wonderful views at the top.
