Patonga Beach

Patonga is a tranquil little fishing village tucked into a calm bay at the southern tip of the Central Coast, where you anchor off and dinghy ashore to a genuinely unhurried slice of coastal NSW. The sheltered water is great for a swim or a paddle, and if you're up for a walk, the Patonga to Pearl Beach track winds through red gums and eucalypts to a stunning lookout before dropping you at the ocean.
