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.
