Terrigal Haven
Central Coast's flagship break - a rocky point at the northern end of Terrigal Beach that produces quality walls when SE swells wrap into the bay. The Haven offers protection from southerly winds and a variety of peaks suitable for all abilities. The bustling Terrigal esplanade provides cafes and amenities right on the beach, making it the social hub of Central Coast surfing.
