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.
Located between Avoca Beach and McMasters
Beach, with Bouddi National Park 5
minutes to the south;
Copacabana is
15 minutes drive from Terrigal, 45
minutes from Hornsby (90 minutes drive
from Sydney CBD).
Copa is
reknowned for having one of the best
point breaks on the East Coast and
is close to all amenities:
Ocean boat
ramp, Crown Plaza Resort, surf beaches,
golf courses (at Gosford, Tuggerah Lakes and Woy Woy)
and restaurants.
A 20 minute drive
to Erina Fair Shopping Plaza,
10 minutes
drive to Avoca Beach with old time
cinema.
Also for the golfer only 10
minutes drive to Kincumber driving
range and also shops, supermarket,
Cinema, Hotel, and access to Brisbane
Water for water sports.
We have a local surf club and they patrol the northern end of Copa beach. This also has a rock pool and playground perfect for snorkelling and safe swimming for younger children.
Surrounded by national parks & inland waterways there is plenty to do
- swimming, surfing, tennis, kayaking,
fishing, prawning, boating and bush-walking.
Also at Copa you'll find a Whale watching
platform and Captain Cook lookout which
gives a great view up and down the
coast.
Whale watching time is from
June till August.
