Patonga
The most southerly beach on the Central Coast
Patonga is the most southerly beach on the Central Coast. It
is located 90 km north of Sydney via the Newcastle Freeway
and
Woy Woy. The waters are calm due to its location within
a recessed bay.
Families visit Patonga primarily to get away from it all.
The beach is pleasant, relatively quiet and good for
swimming. There is a wharf, a boat ramp and a childrens'
play area. Brisk Bay faces in a south-easterly direction
across to West Head, Pittwater and Barrenjoey.
The land here was issued as a grant to John Hatfield in
1839, then subdivided by a subsequent owner who died in the
wreck of the Dunbar in 1857. 'Patonga' is said to be an
indigenous word meaning oysters.
