Top Attractions in Central Coast
💡 Visit during weekday mornings when it's quiet. Grab a coffee from the kiosk and sit in the garden by the koi pond. The garden has a free guided tour on the first Sunday of each month.
💡 Do the short loop past the old quarry and waterfall after rain – the falls are only a trickle in dry weather. The reserve is dog-friendly on-lead.
💡 Park at the car park near The Haven restaurant rather than the main beach lot. The climb up The Skillion is just 5 minutes but the view is better than the one from the main beachfront path.
💡 Start at Putty Beach at low tide to see the Aboriginal shell midden deposits in the eroding cliff face near the car park.
💡 Call ahead to check opening, as it's run by volunteers and sometimes closed on short notice. The cottage is right next to the Edogawa Garden, so combine visits.
