Ettalong Beach

Ettalong Beach is a small seaside village on the NSW Central Coast, south of Woy Woy, and 80km north of Sydney. Ettalong Beach is the natural northward continuation of Umina Beach.

Ettalong Beach is part of the City of Gosford local government area, about 90 minutes drive north of Sydney. It is a satellite village of Woy Woy and can also be reached by train or ferry from Palm Beach. The village has experienced a population and popularity boom in the last 15 years, with the development of new resorts, accommodation and holiday attractions.

Ettalong’s appeal lies in its beaches, lagoons, waterways and safe swimming for children. It is a popular fishing beach with good boating facilities. Ferries and charter vessels run regular trips around Brisbane Water. Bouddi and Brisbane Water national parks are close by, both popular with bushwalkers.

The nearby villages of Umina, Pearl Beach and Patonga offer the seaside charm of beaches, lagoons, waterways and boating facilities. There are many casual dining options in the village.

Ettalong Beach has a primary school, with more schools in nearby Woy Woy and Umina.

Gosford Hospital and Brisbane Waters Private Hospital serve the area.
