We are looking forward to welcoming fully vaccinated visitors from Regional NSW back to Lake Macquarie from Monday 11 October. Please be aware that there are parts of the Lake Macquarie destination that are subject to different rules as they are part of the Central Coast local government area. If in doubt, please contact the friendly team at the Lake Macquarie Visitor Information Centre for more information (currently operating with temporary changes in opening hours). Please stay up-to-date with all the latest NSW Government COVID-19 rules to ensure you are travelling in Lake Macquarie safely.
Water activities
Water activities
Lake Macquarie is one of Australia’s largest saltwater lakes, meaning there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy all their favourite water activities.
The Lake’s sheltered bays are perfect for water sports. Paddle a kayak, or try your hand (while testing out your core strength!) at stand up paddle boarding.
Lake Macquarie is a renowned boating and sailing destination, with all the facilities to match. Marinas, yacht clubs and jetties are all at your disposal. If you’re in the mood to relax, hop aboard a boat tour of the Lake or coastline, or jump on a jet boat thrill ride to really get your blood pumping!
If you prefer the motion of the ocean, you won’t be disappointed, with four patrolled beaches for your swimming pleasure, snorkelling and diving opportunities, and a host of surf breaks for board riders to enjoy.
