AttractionsThe Skillion is the most prominent landmark of the region, with a steep cliff facing the ocean rising to a convenient lookout area, that is easily accessed by a flat grassy area leading up from the reserve. Most popular activities along the Terrigal stretch of coast are surfing, swimming, boating, waterskiing and fishing. Anglers regularly find flathead, snapper, and jewfish offshore, and flathead, blackfish and bream in the surf. Terrigal Beach is located at the southern end of 4kms of unbroken beach that extends north to Wamberal Point. Numerous beachfront cafes and restaurants have created an almost cosmopolitan environment around Terrigal Beach shops, that has become a popular social area just a few metres from the beach. Terrigal and Wamberal Lagoons are adjacent to the beach. Large trees line the Terrigal Lakes foreshore and Wamberal Lagoon is surrounded by a sanctuary for protected birds and animals. Forresters Beach to the north is a quieter beach with scenic views and a popular spot for hang-gliding and bungee jumping. Wyrrabalong National Park is divided into two separate areas, one a narrow strip of coastline stretching from Forresters Beach to Bateau Bay, and the other further north, a larger area between The Entrance and Norah Head. The park features high exposed coastal cliffs, woodlands of native trees and flora along the plateau, and plenty of mangrove areas, marine and bird life. |
