Beach Front - Avoca North - direct beach access

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviews1 month ago

My daughter and I spent a very relaxing weekend break at North Avoca Beach. It was so nice to wake up to the sound of the surf and stroll on the sand. As it’s not a patrolled beach is much quieter than Avoca main beach. The compact size was just right for us.There were lots of kids things around, if you have children they would enjoy those.We would recommend the house for a couples weekend.

We had a beautiful relaxing stay here for a girls weekend! Such beautiful views and the house was very comfortable and spacious. House was a little difficult to find at first using GPS and also for our grocery delivery, but once we were there using Michael’s instructions it was fine. About a 10 minute walk to the beach or short 2 minute drive. During our stay we got a local masseuse to come to the house for massages which was a real treat, Kat’s remedial massage, highly recommend she was absolutely amazing and located on the same street. We would definitely come and stay again if we were in the area! Thanks Michael!!

We spent three nights in Kylie’s stylish studio over Easter and just loved it. Simple but stylish (and even some thoughtful Easter eggs!), this property is only a short 10 minute walk down to Avalon Beach where the beach is perfect, all amenities are there, and the restaurants are plentiful. We didn’t use the car at all, just enjoyed the big lounge on the deck for wine and nibbles and wandered down to the beach twice a day. We highly recommend this delightful property for a perfect getaway.

Perfect Coastal Getaway

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews2 months ago

We were blown away the second we stepped into Sandy's place. The pictures do not do this place justice - it is so much more spacious than we imagined! It has everything you'll need and things you didn't think you'd need (I won't spoil any surprise) - Sandy has thought of everything and has gone above and beyond expectations. The place was immaculate, and everything felt new and of top quality. Located in a cul-de-sac, the place was the perfect getaway from the bustling Terrigal esplanade. We enjoyed the fact we could walk to everything (beaches, lagoon, cafes, shops, restaurants) we wanted to go to, especially as we were there during the busy long weekend. Sandy did an amazing job of managing our enquiries, booking, and requested changes by her timely, friendly, and informative responses. We can't wait to stay at Sandy's place again and will be recommending to our family and friends!

Penny’s beach house was the perfect idyll from which to enjoy sleepy, stunning Patonga. The house was light, airy, comfortable and clean. Loved the balcony and the egg chair for sunlit afternoons reading and snoozing before long walks on the beach and kayaking up the creek. Thanks for having us.

Your guide to Avoca Beach

All About Avoca Beach

Perched between two sandstone headlands 90 minutes north of Sydney, Avoca Beach offers a relaxing getaway with patrolled beaches and a calm, shallow rock pool at its southern end. The town is popular with surfers thanks to its variety of breaks, and you can hire a board and book lessons with the local surf school.

Adjacent to the beach, you’ll find Avoca Lake, a large coastal lagoon where you can hire kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and pedal boats, or simply relax on a picnic rug in the shade. The Avoca Beachside Markets, held on the fourth Sunday of every month, offer a selection of local produce, live music, and arts and crafts. You’ll also have several quality restaurants, cafes, and takeaway options in town. The Captain Cook Lookout provides panoramic views of the coastline, from which you can spot whales in the cooler months. You can also explore the Bouddi Coastal Walk, a scenic eight-kilometre journey winding through national parkland to Macmasters Beach.

The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Avoca Beach

With its temperate climate, Avoca Beach is a lovely spot to visit any time of the year. Summer is the most popular season, especially over the school holidays, when families come to enjoy the area’s beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Though it can get hot and humid over the summer months, the days are long, the water is warm, and there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Autumn and spring bring slightly cooler weather, fewer crowds, and water that’s still warm enough to swim in. These months are also great for taking some nearby bush walks or picnicking on the coast. Winter is usually the quietest time in Avoca Beach, though it benefits from less crowded surf.

Top things to do in Avoca Beach

Avoca Lake

Avoca Lake is a large, enclosed coastal lagoon that runs into the ocean in the middle of Avoca Beach. An island sits in the middle of the lagoon, and the wetlands offer plenty of areas to explore. Calm waters make it an excellent spot for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, and you can also hire paddle boats. In the warmer months, picnics are popular, as are the children’s playground and the many shaded areas.

Ex-HMAS Adelaide

Less than two kilometres off the coast of Avoca Beach, you’ll find the wreck of the HMAS Adelaide, which in 2011 was deliberately scuttled to create an artificial reef and diving site. The ship is 138 meters long and 15 meters wide, so there is plenty to explore above and below sea level, weather depending.

Bouddi National Park Coastal Walk

The Bouddi National Park Coastal Walk stretches just over eight kilometres from Putty Beach to Macmasters Beach. Known as one of the most beautiful walks on the Central Coast, it offers picnic spots along the way and lots of opportunities for whale and dolphin spotting. It’s a relatively flat walk, and it can also be broken into smaller sections for beginners.
