Last updated October 2026
Terrigal Beach is a patrolled beach at the southern end of a 2.8 km stretch of sand, with cafes and restaurants overlooking it.

Swim between the red and yellow flags and supervise children at all times. Beach matting is installed here each patrol season and free beach wheelchairs can be booked. NSW Beachwatch lists a cafe or kiosk, parking, a playground or park, showers and toilets here. Nearby (OpenStreetMap): Bellyfish Cafe, about 65 m; Luna (cafe), about 70 m; Swells Terrigal (restaurant), about 74 m; Terrigal Beach Fish and Chip co (takeaway), about 80 m.
