Escape to The Entrance and you’ll find a beautiful seaside setting. Tucked between the sparkling Pacific Ocean and tranquil waters of Tuggerah Lake, a visit to this family favourite on the NSW Central Coast isn’t complete until you’ve enjoyed one of the many water sports on offer, including fishing, boating and swimming.
In pretty Memorial Park, young children will love The Entrance Historic Carousel and nearby Vera’s Water Garden, a fun splash pool with brightly coloured fountains in the shape of magical sea creatures. Head south from the park to The Entrance Beach and follow the delightful foreshore walk.
There are two heritage-listed ocean baths at the southern end of the patrolled beach, one is child-friendly. Another swimming option is across the bridge at The Entrance North Beach, which is also patrolled. Explore more of the area on the 7.6km Coast to Lake Walk, which takes you from lakeside Long Jetty to seaside Toowoon Bay.
The Entrance is a 1hr 30min drive north from Sydney and around 1hr 15min south from Newcastle. You can also catch the train from Sydney to Gosford or Tuggerah stations and connect by bus.
