Copacabana ("Copa")
has a relaxed seaside village atmosphere
and is surrounded by beach, lagoon
and national parks.
If you are looking
for a commercialised, developed beach
resort - then you won't find it at
Copa.
This seaside village has a laid back atmosphere, so if you are looking for a great beach to catch up on your tan and is safe for the kids, or if you are a keen surfer, then Copa is for you.
Copa is situated
close to other popular beaches including Avoca, Terrigal and McMasters.
This suburb is really a local village
with shops & cafes, where you can enjoy a cappuccino with a freshly baked croissant or have
brunch at the local cafes or perhaps
a delightful seafood or steak dinner
at the White Sands Restaurant. (There's
also a great takeaway for those looking
for a fish and chips hit!)
Stroll
or jog along the beach, go for an
early morning surf or swim; try kayaking
on the lagoon, bushwalk one of the
many trails, take the kids fishing
or for a game of tennis or a round
of golf in the afternoon.
 - Somersby. Just a 30 minute drive away.
Beaches - Lots of them!
National Parks - Walking
Brisbane Waters - Boating
