Great facilities. Boat ramp. Cafes and easily accessible with new boardwalk. Best dog park in the area. Well worth a visit.

This is a beach located at Broken Head which is at the southern end of Terrigal Beach. The views are amazing. It’s a protected boat harbour with a boat ramp, fishing charters, swimming, scuba diving, snorkelling, picnic and BBQ facilities. The Haven is protected by the 20m high Broken Head and the Skillion, both composed of rich fossil 200 million years old. It’s only a small beach, 0.2 km long. In my opinion, this is a nicer place than the other beaches in Terrigal. There’s quite a big parking available and also toilets, including disabled toilets. There’s seating available along with the BBQ facilities but these are quite popular and can be claimed fast. There’s a couple of cafe/restaurants that you can get something to eat. Well worth the visit.

A beautiful place to visit with the family including the dog! Plenty of parking but it gets very busy especially on weekends. A few cafes to chose from to eat but once again, very busy so be prepared to wait.

Ended up here, cause the other beaches were crowded and there was no parking. This place had plenty of parking. Had a picnic under the trees, then got into the nice cold water and then did a short stroll to the lookout points and the rocks at the bottom. The beach is fairly small and there weren't too many waves. But it was a nice place to relax. There was a BBQ pit as well and a few restaurants. There was a ramp as well to unload the boats.
