ACCOM Holidays : Terrigal

North Avoca is a serene coastal haven on the NSW Central Coast, perfectly positioned between the vibrant hubs of Terrigal and Avoca Beach, and only 90 minutes north of Sydney. Loved for its laid-back charm, stunning scenery, and strong community spirit, this beachside spot offers the ideal blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure.

The jewel of North Avoca is its pristine 1.7 km beach, stretching between two rocky headlands. It’s a favourite among swimmers, sunbathers, and surfers alike, thanks to consistent breaks and lifeguard patrols in warmer months. The dog-friendly section means even your furry companions can enjoy the waves. Just inland lies Avoca Lake, a tranquil lagoon perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or paddle boat rides, especially popular with families and nature lovers.

Spend your days exploring rock pools, or strolling along the sand toward nearby Avoca Beach, where you’ll find boutique shops, weekend markets, and the heritage-listed Avoca Beach Theatre, a charming, single-screen cinema that hosts live music, film nights, and festivals. Head the other way and you’ll reach Terrigal, known for its buzzing dining scene, bars, and the famous Skillion Lookout, offering panoramic coastal views.

For those who love the outdoors, North Avoca is a gateway to bushland trails, scenic cliff walks, and nearby national parks like Wyrrabalong, and Bouddi, where you can spot native wildlife and soak up unspoiled views of the Pacific. Water lovers can enjoy fishing, snorkelling, or simply watching the sunrise from the beach.

Cafés like The Boy & The Rose offer the perfect coffee stop and The General Store if you need to grab any essentials. More dining options await just minutes away in Terrigal and Avoca Beach, including beachfront restaurants, gourmet takeaways, and family-friendly pubs.

Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a family holiday, or a solo escape to reconnect with nature, North Avoca delivers a classic Australian beach holiday with modern comforts, natural beauty, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe.
