Blue Lagoon Beach Resort
An easy breezy beachfront holiday is waiting just over an hour's drive north of Sydney.
Overview
Stake your claim on the sand at Shelly Beach by booking a couple of waterfront cabins at Blue Lagoon Beach Resort. These airy beach pads sleep four adults a piece, in a classic family holiday atmosphere — think bunk beds and no-fuss wicker furniture. So, pack your easy-breezy picnic attire, bodyboard and sandcastle-building kit to match the laidback vibe of this quiet corner of the Central Coast.
To relive more childhood thrills, ascend to dizzying heights at Treetops Adventure and soar through the eucalyptus canopy of Ourimbah State Forest. There are a series of stomach-churning ziplines and aerial obstacle courses, which you can mellow out from over a cruisy paddle around Tuggerah Lake (kayaks can be hired at The Entrance Boat Shed).
Or, for a more gastronomical exploration, head to a factory tour of Little Creek Cheese — with plenty of tasting opportunities — or learn how to make your own dairy dreams come true at a lesson. Find more Central Coast tips over here.
