Winter on the Central Coast is a vibe all its own. Crisp air, quiet beaches, and loads to explore, whether you’re a local looking for weekend inspo, or visiting our slice of paradise from further afield, there’s plenty to do this season!
Whale Watching Season
From May to November, humpback whales migrate right past our coastline – and it’s honestly magical. We’re often lucky enough to even spot them from our desks at reception as they head on past! Head to Crackneck Lookout, (less than 5 minutes drive or about a half hour walk from Blue Lagoon!) for a good chance of spotting them, or book a closer look with local whale watching tour Terrigal Tours – just a 20 minute drive away.
Bushwalks Without the Crowds
Winter is prime walking weather – cool, clear, and no mozzies in sight! Blue Lagoon is lucky to be on the doorstep of the Wyrrabalong National Park – simply head up our driveway and turn left for the start of the stunning Coast Track Walk to Crackneck Lookout (and beyond!).- Don’t forget your binoculars! Team member Amy rates this walk as one of her favourites – Check out her video tour here.
Cosy Cafés for Winter Warmers
If you’re more into flat whites than frosty mornings, you’re in luck. The Central Coast is full of cosy cafés with crackin’ coffee and hearty food. Our team can’t agree on a favourite (they’re all great!) so check out this list of nearby favourites and choose your own favourite local spot:, all within 2 to 20 minutes from our resort! View them here.
Indoor Fun for the Kids (and Kidults, too!)
When the weather turns or the kids need to burn off some energy, we’ve got you covered – all within a half hour drive from our doorstep! We love funky indoor mini golf, classic ten pin bowling, virtual reality adventures, and even an indoor ice skating rink – perfect for rainy days or a fun night out.
