Lakes Beach

Lakes Beach is a coastal strip along the Tasman Sea in New South Wales featuring wide sandy areas backed by native plants and shrubs. The water remains calm and shallow near the shore, making the area accessible for swimmers and waders of all levels.

The beach emerged from a natural coastal landscape and gradually developed into a recreational spot as the region grew. This transformation reflects the broader pattern of coastal areas in New South Wales becoming accessible destinations.

Local residents and visitors gather at Lakes Beach for swimming, fishing, and beach activities, continuing Australian coastal traditions.

The beach can be reached easily via Budgewoi Road, which leads directly to parking and the main access point. Visit during high tide if you prefer deeper water for swimming, as the shallow conditions vary with tidal movements.

Near the Tuggerah Entrance, special wave patterns and water currents form that differ from neighboring bays. These natural conditions make each visit feel different depending on the season and weather conditions.
