Why Ettalong Beach Should Be Your Next Holiday Destination

When it comes to planning the perfect seaside escape, Ettalong Beach ticks every box. Nestled on the NSW Central Coast, this relaxed village combines calm waterways, golden sands, and a welcoming community vibe. It’s quieter than busier hubs like Terrigal, yet close to national parks, cafés, restaurants, and family attractions, making it ideal for couples, families, or groups.

At HolidayCo. Apartments Ettalong, we make it even easier to enjoy the best of the Coast. Our resort-style accommodation puts you right by Brisbane Water and Broken Bay, with views stretching out to the iconic Lion Island. Whether you want a weekend retreat or a longer holiday, Ettalong has everything you need.
