Top 12 Most Liked Photos of the Central Coast in 2022

We’ve just about made it to the end of another year Coasties. Thankfully this year was less impacted by the pandemic and life kind of felt a bit like it did BC. That being said it was still a wild ride.

Coasties Mag changed hands with Amy passing the reigns to Tash and myself (Nikki). We dove in head first excited to continue driving the #supportlocal movement with great enthusiasm. We kept delivering quality content and being THE voice on the Coast for the hottest happenings, breaking news, as well as where to eat, drink and shop.

We brought the print mag back to a reception that blew us away with how much support and love exists out there for what we do. Proving without a doubt that Coasties Mag is the most popular and in-demand print publication on the Central Coast.

As 2023 draws to a close we wanted to share, highlight and credit those uber-talented photographers and individuals who’ve contributed to our exceptionally good looking @coastiesmag Insta grid. These legends have captured the exquisite beauty of our home the Central Coast. Reminding us just of how bloody lucky we are to call this paradise our home!

These are our readers’ top picks from the last year – Coasties Mag’s top 12 pics of the Central Coast from 2022.

Make sure to follow those spectacular humans who took each image.

1. Terrigal

Ok yes, we had waaay more rain than we cared for in 2022 but let’s be real; what’s not to love about a moody lightning storm?  Especially when we take into account and appreciate the skill required to capture it.  Taken by the talent that is  @dwausphotos back in Feb over Terrigal.

2. Toowoon Bay

You swooned over Toowoon and so do we.  In fact, we always have eyes for the simply incredible work of @fromabove.images who snapped this beauty.

3. Terrigal

The pretty pink hues over the Skillion in Terrigal were captured, once again, by the amazing @dwausphotos.  He’s clearly a crowd favourite for our Coasties readers.  What a shot!
