All about Pretty Beach
A small, relaxed waterside suburb on the New South Wales Central Coast, Pretty Beach doesn’t actually have much of a beach at all. Hugging the shores of the Brisbane Water barrier estuary, Pretty Beach’s attractive, protected bay makes it a more popular place to moor (and launch) boats. However, there is a tidal ocean bath at the eastern side of the bay, opposite the local public school, for swimming. And the calm and secluded Lobster Beach, part of Bouddi National Park, is just a short walk southwest of the bay via a walking track accessed via High View Road. This trail links up with the 2.9-kilometre-return Flannel Flower Walking Track, named for the beautiful white flowers that bloom alongside the trail in spring. While there are no dining options in Pretty Beach, there are several cafes and restaurants in the neighbouring suburbs of Hardy’s Bay and Killcare.
What are the top things to do in Pretty Beach?
Bouddi National Park
Home to one of Australia’s first marine protected areas, significant Aboriginal sites, wildlife and wildflowers, and even an old paddle steamer wreck, Bouddi National Park is one of the most superb national parks in New South Wales, and it’s right on the doorstep of Pretty Beach. Leave your car at the Wards Hill car park, less than 10 minutes’ drive from Pretty Beach, and follow the Daleys Point Walking Track along a ridgeline to admire the sandstone engravings at the Daleys Point Aboriginal Site.
Palm Beach
Get a taste of Sydney without hitting the road by taking a 30-minute ferry ride from Wagstaffe to Palm Beach, the city’s northernmost suburb. The ferry runs roughly every hour from early morning to early evening, with more services on weekdays. Palm Beach’s iconic surf beach lies within walking distance from the ferry wharf, with several lunch options close by.
Killcare
Just five minutes’ drive from Pretty Beach, Killcare is one of the Central Coast’s favourite surf beaches. Popular with families, there’s a small rockpool at the southern end of the beach perfect for small children to splash around in. Lifeguards patrol the beach from September until April.
