was a period when Terrigal and the Central Coast region of New South Wales was a sleepy country place of the state that only came to life briefly over-the summer holidays. Then the F3 Freeway from Sydney was completed in 1987. Since then, Terrigal and the rest of-the Central Coast has turned into a favorite holiday for Sydneysiders all yr 'round.
While Terrigal has never been a populous suburb, it has ever been looked at as the Central Coast's most upscale neighborhood. This standing was cemented further when the Peppers Resort (now Crowne Plaza) was erected. The establishment of this large, upscale spa changed the face of the village, leading to the establishment of many trendy boutiques, gourmet restaurants as well as other businesses. Nevertheless, they never forced the older institutions out of city and you can still love fish and chips from a sidewalk cafe or buy your surfing supplies from a search shop that has been established for 20 years or more.
Central Coast - The fact that Terrigal, while undoubtedly an upscale community, keeps several of its older, more modest establishments is certainly one of its charms. This is a location where you can feel comfortable in a pair of a tee shirt, boardshorts and flip-flop sandals, even while you're experiencing a gourmet brunch outside an alfresco restaurant. While you sip a cappuccino, just across the street, surfers will likely be checking out the waves out at the Destination, households will undoubtedly be frolicking in the waves in front of the Terrigal Surf Life Saving Club under the watchful attention of the guards and "Mums and Dads" will likely be waiting for a big serving of fish and chips wrapped in paper to remove to the beach for lunch.
One other wonderful point about Terrigal is the fact that, unlike so many city beaches, you really do not actually have to be in your car and drive in order to find a quiet stretch of shore to relax. Basically walk up the seashore towards Wamberal and before you know it, you are in another world; the planet the locals appreciate. There appears to be a bewitching dividing point between Terrigal and its mainly residential neighbour: cross that line and you will actually feel the difference.
Its lots of amenities and central area makes a perfect place to Terrigal to get your home while you are touring on the Central Coast. From there, you can easily reach the other Central Coast communities, each which has its special atmosphere. For example, Avoca Beach, just south of Terrigal, is among Australia's most famous surfing towns. Like Terrigal, Avoca has become busier over time, but, also like Terrigal, it has a haven of peace within simple walking distance at North Avoca.
Traveling in another way, you reached the Entry. The Entry, a much bigger community, has a clearly different setting and is mostly a family destination.
Staying at an upmarket spa like Crowne Plaza is not a condition, although Terrigal has an upmarket reputation. In the same way you could choose between a nick and fish feed for the whole family or an intimate candlelit dinner for two, you have your pick of Terrigal accommodations. That is just one more purpose why Terrigal is such a good option as your "base camp" for a Central Coast holiday.
