Also recognised as a popular surfing spot, the waves off the point are great for experienced and beginner surfers. Copacabana also features a large lagoon located on the south side of the beach and is a perfect spot for kayaking or some snorkelling where you can check out the local marine life. You can also do a spot of beach fishing and catch some local bream and whiting, or for a guaranteed catch you can hop aboard a Deep Sea Fishing Charter that disembarks from the area. |
Nature LoversFor nature loves there is plenty on offer. The eucalyptus bushlands that surrounds Copacabana is home to many colourful parrots and other native birds. There are also bushwalking trails to explore in the nearby Bouddi National Park or pack a picnic and just take in the tranquility of the area. During the winter months between late May and early August, Humpback Whales can often be seen migrating to the warmer waters of the Central Coast region. The whales often come quite close to the coastline due to the northerly currents during the winter months and can be viewed from the high vantage points.
