Ocean Beach, Central Coast Holiday. NSW. ~
This Central Coast accommodation is in the area renowned as the only place in the world where five waterways meet. Pacific Ocean - Hawkesbury River - Brisbane Waters - Broken Bay - The Rip.
Ocean Beach gives you the ocean beach with the safety of an inland waterway, with over 2 km's of golden sand to enjoy. Emerald Cove is situated at the quieter end of the beach with shallow entry suitable for children. For the more adventurous, good surfing conditions are about 100 metres along the beach. The beach is patrolled during the warmer weather.
Minutes from Pearl Beach, a tiny little sea side village with restaurants and café’s. In the other direction is the resort town of Umina, with a large shopping centre for all your holiday needs.
A short distance to many activities if you can tear yourself away from the beach. And of course, there’s always the local fishing with the fresh, deep waters filled with an abundance of delicious seafood and oysters.
