Nature experiences

With more than half the Central Coast green space, this is your place to feel whole again.
As a destination, more than half of the Central Coast is national park, state forest, bushland, open space, nature reserves, beaches and waterways. This includes some of New South Wales’ most popular immersive nature experiences like the 8km Bouddi Coastal Walk, the MTB haven at Ourimbah State Forest, Girrakool Falls in Somersby, and the World Heritage Listed Old Great North Road in Dharug National Park.
The fact you've landed here means you can now easily plan your own eco-adventure across the Central Coast, one of Australia's first ECO Destinations! Choose from a raft of nature-based, eco-conscious activities, sustainable businesses, excitedly add local bushwalks, outdoor pools, lookouts and hidden beaches to your bucket list, or take tips from our local eco-champions on where to explore.
