Shelly Beach Holiday Park
School Holiday Hot Spot
Both Toowoon Bay and Shelley Beach Holiday Park are just moments from each other but the different is this a really family-focused resort.

And that reflects the cost, with stays starting at a still reasonable $150 a night.

Norah Head Holiday Park might only be ten minutes away from Canton Beach below but the offering is completely different. Here you’ve got a swimming pool, playground and easy access to a bushwalk to the Norah Head Lighthouse. This holiday park is also closest to the Norah Head Rockpool which is a brilliant swimming spot for kids of all ages.
Canton Beach Holiday Park
A quieter option

After all, one of the best fishing spots – Tuggerah Lake – is just around the corner. There’s not much in the area, except a fish and chips shop. But it’s an easy walk up to Main Road in Toukley, which has plenty of eateries and shops.
