The Entrance

Finding The Entrance is easy. There’s only one tiny problem: nobody wants to find the exit once they’ve discovered its many charms.

Feed the pelicans, experience the Sensory Gardens, or rent a Boomerang Bike and cycle to Tuggerah Lake for some outdoor recreation, then order local mud crabs on the water’s edge. When the ocean calls, take your pick from North Entrance Beach or the more secluded Tuggerah Beach, which is surrounded by Wyrrabalong National Park. Still too choppy? Splash around in the Entrance Ocean Baths. A weekend escape to The Entrance is good for the body and the soul.
