This is by far the best Park on the Central Coast. It is home to Umina Beach - a surf beach but protected by the heads which is very popular swimming beach in the summer time. The Park itself is state of the art. Offering a place for little kids, big kids to play on some of the best play equipment and safe surrounding. There is a toddlers play area which is fully fenced and sand under all the equipment and shade sails, there is the big area which has a large climbing frame, massive flying fox and also a bike and skate park. Totally recommend. Also has a Big 4 Caravan park right next door - extremely popular - book way ahead.

Great people, great beaches, off the leash dog beach, good local shopping plus Aldi, Coles and Woolworths all within easy walk of the OB.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Beautiful part of the world, very scenic, lovely little stretch of shops, beautiful beaches and nature. Local park up the road is very good, and the food we had was excellent also! Only negative is some crime in the local area.

4/5 - Good

Quite and relaxing but not a lot to do if you want something different to parks & beaches

5/5 - Excellent

We loved the beach and the town. The park was located close to town, which was great. Lots of food options and supermarkets. Not a far drive to Woy Woy which was bigger than Umina. Umina had a great feel to it and all people we met were friendly.

Umina Beach is beautiful; the Ocean Beach Cabin could do with an update for the price we were charged.

Beautiful beach in central coast australia

Ettalong Beach

A 'private' little oasis. Not so private. It is a small little beach along the waterfront as you walk from the ferry down to the picnic areas and boat ramp. I call it my own little private beach where I find my 'peaceful' spot to stop and have my lunch during my working days. The waterfront is a quiet idyllic spot to rest and have a bite to eat. The first stop on the train line into the Central Coast. It is surrounded by the water with amazing shared walking/bike path for both the locals and visitors to enjoy. A great little spot to put a line in the water and try your luck at catching a fish.
