The beautiful Toowoon Bay Beach is popular for swimming, surfing, snorkelling and fishing, with rocky reefs near both ends. It’s a patrolled beach that curves along the coast for about 700m. Pretty Blue Bay Beach is immediately north and enchanting Little Bay Beach sits to the south, connected by a point where gentle waves roll onto the soft sandy shoreline.

Explore the bicycle path along the foreshore of Tuggerah Lake, a shallow waterway popular for water sports such as sailing, waterskiing, fishing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. The estuary is also an important habitat for birds, including sharp-tailed sandpipers, black swans and pelicans.
