The Entrance - right on the other side of the lake you will find The Entrance- a popular spot with families

Personally we find the entrance a bit drab at the moment ... but the Pelican Feeding is worth a visit, you can also ride  bikes offroad all the way round the lake to Chiittaway Bay. 


Tuggerah Lake

The Tuggerah Lake system would best be described as an amalgamation of three lagoons, rather than a large tidal estuary.  In fact the tide only affects the system at The Entrance – it is barely a noticeable further inward.

Tuggerah Lake is the largest of the three interconnected lagoons – the other two being Budgewoi Lake and Lake Munmorah.

They cover a massive 80 sq km !!!

The three lagoons are separated from the Pacific Ocean by a large sand peninsula.  There is only one aperture to the Pacific Ocean which is located some 5 km from the southern-most point of the lake system at The Entrance.
