MacMasters Beach on the New South Wales Central Coast is just one and a half hours from Sydney and the locals are happy to share. It's a Sydney-sider favourite and the perfect place for a holiday rental escape.

Surrounded by the spectacular Bouddi National Park, there are many walking tracks of different levels of difficulty and wildlife is abundant. The Bouddi Coastal Walk is one of the most beautiful walks and it stretches from MacMasters Beach through to Putty Beach with views across to Palm Beach and Pittwater through to Sydney CBD.

A family favourite, Macmasters Beach is one of the best beaches on NSW Central Coast for children, because swim between the flags or in the rockpool and splash around in the shallow lagoon.

The Beach is sheltered from the southerly winds by a protruding headland, which can be great. And It’s also a popular surfing spot. There are surf breaks for beginners and a fun right-hand point break for advanced surfers.

Nearby the villages of Hardys Bay and Killcare offer a variety of galleries, eateries, boat and yacht hire and fishing spots. You can also catch the ferry from the nearby Wagstaffe wharf to Ettalong markets and cinema complex or across to Palm Beach.
