Yes, that’s right. In the deepest, darkest bush of Woy Woy, you will find an infinity pool that is fed by the cascading waters of a waterfall. Here’s a map to help you find it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure you explore safely. We do not recommend visiting after heavy rainfall. This waterfall is NOT suitable for young children kids. And, keep the simple rule of “if you’re unsure, don’t go!”

5. Embrace nature on a bush walk

The Central Coast has an abundance of beautiful walks, plunging you deep within nature.  Here’s the best bush walks on the Coast for some inspiration.

6. Visit Somersby Falls

Somersby Falls is one of the Coast’s most visited spots.

Whilst there is an $8 fee for vehicles per day in the adjacent car park, it is possible to park a little further up the road and walk down to this tranquil bit of Coastie paradise. With more than three levels of accessible waterfall-filled splash-zones snaking down a lush ravine, there are plenty of spots to take a cool dip in the meditative wilderness, though also look out for the beaut walking tracks and newly revamped picnic facilities to enjoy here, too.
