The Entrance is a coastal town in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia which is a beautiful and very popular holiday destination.
The Entrance is famous for its pristine beaches where you can easily spend a day swimming, surfing, sunbathing, or just relaxing. The Lakes Beach, Soldiers Beach, The Entrance Beach, The Entrance North Beach, Tuggerah Beach, Toowoon Bay, and the Shelly Beach can be listed down as the best patrolled beaches in the area. The Entrance Beach is an aquatic playground with many attractions for children. The North Entrance Beach is adjacent to the Wyrrabalong National Park and The Entrance Channel opening to Tuggerah Lakes. Tuggerah Beach is the longest out of the lot, stretching up to 6 km. All beaches are provided with facilities for the visitors such as toilets, parking, and cafes. Some even have BBQ facilities. The ocean baths at the 50 metre ocean pool is also another attraction which draws many visitors.
The pelican feeding at The Entrance waterfront is a favourite activity of the visitors of the area. It operates daily at 3.30 p.m. and it is so fascinating to see thousands of Pelicans flocking together to catch their afternoon feed. This activity is also done with the purpose of identifying and treating the Pelicans who are in poor health conditions, mainly due to the pollution of their habitual environments. If you wish to get a good view of the pelicans you better arrive early so that you can catch a front row seat. This is one of the reasons that the nearby Central Coast resorts get occupied very quickly. If you are looking to stay at one of the favourite places like the Oaks Waterfront Resort it is better to make your reservations early.
Roller skating is one of the favourite sports and recreational activities of athletic youngsters. Located at the Picnic Point Reserve at the corner of The Entrance Road, The Entrance Skate Park is an ideal skate ground for the enthusiastic skaters. With its professionally designed hips and gaps, this skate park provides a steady ground to perform all tricks that you can ever imagine. The park is not only for skateboarders. There are many roller-bladers, scooter riders, and BMX riders who enjoy a ride at the park. You can just have a seat at the corner of the park and watch the performers for hours without getting bored.
Vera's Water Garden is a puddle pool decorated with many colourful statues, fountains, and water sprinklers designed especially for little kids who love to have fun. This entertaining water paradise is located next to Memorial Park on The Entrance Foreshore. Kids can have a time of their own with friends their own age, running, jumping, paddling, and getting soaked in water. What is more inviting for parents that there are many shaded areas with free Wi-Fi where they can sit back and relax while the kids are having fun out there.
A two hour leisurely stroll along The Entrance Heritage Walk can give you a clear idea about the history with its creatively placed series of old world photos. You will pass the collection of interesting pictures denoted by coherent descriptions like those of the Allambee Guest House, All Saints Anglican Church, The Home of Austin and May Taylor, Catholic School Housie, Cenotaph, First Bank, The Entrance Historical Carousel, and many others. This is also an ideal way to see and feel the beauty of The Entrance while relaxing your mind.
The Entrance Lions Club and the Wyong Shire Council had joint together to create the marvellous Sensory Gardens in the Terilbah Reserve near Pelican's Wharf, North Entrance. Its speciality is the sensory feature which gives a chance for the people without eyesight to touch, feel, and enjoy the aroma of the garden. It is also wheelchair friendly.
