Avoca Beach is one of the many central coast beaches that also has a lagoon behind the beach. As you come into Avoca you cross a bridge over the lagoon and wind your way through the Norfolk Island palms and into the small shopping centre with a good selection of cafes and restaurants,as well as a boutique butcher,various fashion stores and others.
Adjacent to the shops is the local sports field and tennis courts.
Avoca Beach is a one road in and one road out of town place so for most of the year it is very quiet.
It's a very friendly place and one of the first things I noticed as I walked my dog on the beach was people stopped to say hello. Particularly if they also have a dog.It is one of those lucky beaches that allow dog walking in a certain section of the beach( please pick up your dog poos)
Bird life is everywhere and there are lots of nice walks to be done around the coastline.There is also a fantastic new surf club at the southern end of the beach with a great childrens playground behind it and some nice cafes as well.
The primary school has a super reputation and it is a real family friendly suburb.
There can be some traffic problems heading north towards Terrigal in the mornings around school time but apart from then getting around is pretty easy and Erina Fair shopping centre is only a 10 minute drive away.
