The Bouddi Peninsula as a location for a Central Coast holiday has long been a secret of locals and weekenders. The region was once labeled ‘the Manly of Brisbane Waters’. Located on the northern coastline of Broken Bay opposite Barrenjoey headland, on a clear day it’s close enough to the hustle and bustle of Sydney to see the skyscrapers of the city, yet feels a million miles away.
The tiny villages of Killcare, Pretty Beach, Wagstaffe and MacMasters are enveloped by Bouddi National Park, a stunning coastal reserve made up of sandstone escarpments and plateaus, ocean beaches and the tidal inlet of Brisbane Waters. Despite being small in size, there’s a thriving art scene and lots of tasty food to enjoy.
Across the way in Brisbane Water National Park you’ll find upmarket Pearl Beach and the quaint fishing village of Patonga.
