Ettalong Beach is a vibrant waterside town on the Central Coast’s southern peninsula, where the tranquil waters of Brisbane Water meet the dynamic, sometimes turbulent currents of Wagstaffe Channel and Broken Bay. This convergence creates a unique coastal atmosphere, with the calm serenity of the bay contrasting beautifully with the more dramatic, wind-swept scenes near the channel.

One of the most interesting aspects of Ettalong is the view from above. Photographing the area from the air reveals the intricate sandbars scattered throughout the channel, adding a unique texture to the landscape. These sandbars can create stunning images, capturing the natural beauty and complexity of the region. However, they also present challenges, sometimes causing headaches for the local ferry service navigating the shifting waters.
