Bellyfish is great for breakfast and lunch. It's located right on the Terrigal esplanade so there are great views of the beach. Awesome menu, always a bustling place. Take a walk through Terrigal after or have a swim at the beach!

My favourite dinner venue on the Coast. Four Hands serves up a huge range of tapas and to-die-for pizzas. Make sure you get the Lamb Arancini no matter what you do. YUM!

This place is stunning, particularly after a big dump of rain as the waterfalls flow heavy. You can walk for while along the river bed, jumping from rock to rock. It's so lovely, take a picnic and swimmers if it's a beautiful day.

All the beaches on the Central Coast are beautiful. Terrigal in particular is good as it's right next to shops and other things to look at. If you walk right around to the point you can climb the Skillion hill and have a great view of the Coastline.

Entertainment & Activities

This old school picture theatre set on Avoca Beach is a must visit if you're wanting to avoid the standard cinema and do something more 'local'. They only have one cinema so hopefully you haven't seen what they're showing. Often it's more unique and alternative movies. It's adorable.
