Immerse yourself in the NATURAL WONDERS of the Central Coast
Perhaps it’s a reflection on the lives we lead that we are turning more and more to nature-based holidays and activities, and seeking out cultural experiences that better connect us to Country.
The Central Coast is home to a collection of more than 20 national parks, state forests and conservation areas, more than 40 exquisite beaches and 1,800 sq km of expansive waterways, as well charge for ecotourism, and it’s no wonder that our region has already been awarded a coveted spot in Green Destinations’ global Top 100 List two years running (the only region in Australia to achieve this!).

Most significantly, the NSW Central Coast is now officially accredited as an ECO Destination with Ecotourism Australia. This rigorous certification process was powered by Council’s (award-winning) Destination Central Coast team and a passionate community of local tourism operators.

Feeling active and love the thrill of the climb and the rush of the descent on two wheels? One of the major mountain bike events promoters in Australia is based right here on the Coast. Yes, it’s racing but it isn’t just about how long it takes you to get from the start to the finish. It’s also about challenging yourself in nature, the adventure you have along the way, the people you meet and the unique moments you share.
