🏖️ 2. Hit the Beach (and the Rockpools)
Our stunning beaches like Avoca, Terrigal and Pearl Beach are perfect for an Easter picnic or a paddle. For little ones, the calm waters of Umina Beach and the rockpools at Norah Head Lighthouse offer hours of nature-based fun and wonder. Nothing says Easter like sandy toes and salt in the air.
🍫 3. Easter Egg Hunts and Local Markets
Keep an eye out for local Easter events! Many towns across the Central Coast host markets and egg hunts — check out The Entrance, Gosford waterfront, and Wyee for family-friendly fun. The local stalls are also perfect for picking up handmade Easter gifts or delicious seasonal treats.
🌿 4. Take a Bushwalk or Nature Stroll
Want to burn off the chocolate? Try one of the many nature walks around the region — like the Bouddi Coastal Walk, Somersby Falls, or the peaceful trails around Wyrrabalong National Park. Autumn is the perfect time to explore – cool breezes, rustling leaves, and maybe even a wallaby or two.
🛶 5. Paddle, Kayak or Cruise the Waterways
Explore the Central Coast’s beautiful lakes and estuaries by kayak or paddleboard – especially around Avoca Lagoon, Brisbane Water or Lake Macquarie.
