Vineyard owner and wine connoisseur, Harry Hardy, serves as namesake of the serene beachside town on Sydney’s picturesque Central Coast. Sitting just over 100 kilometres north of the CBD, Hardys Bay is a tranquil beach paradise that is as much a holiday destination as it is a thriving coastal community.
Cushioned between the popular waterfront hubs of Pretty Beach and Killcare, Hardys Bay boasts an enviable relaxed lifestyle. With the attractive waterways of Brisbane Water on one side and the wild beauty of Bouddi National Park on the other, locals and visitors can’t help but feel at one with nature when in Hardys Bay.
Outdoor adventures and cultural exploration are on the cards throughout the year in Hardys Bay. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy a day of hiking in Bouddi National Park and relish one of the Central Coast’s most spectacular natural wonders. The Box Head Lookout is not to be missed and offers breathtaking views over the Tasman Sea and Broken Bay. A day in town offers plenty of opportunities to dine at trendy eateries such as Hardys Bistro or the legendary Hardys Bay Club.
A slice of the easy life is on the cards for locals and visitors of Hardys Bay. Leave the stresses of city life behind you and unwind at one of the many secluded beaches that hug the coastline or enjoy a cup of coffee in town and watch the world go by.
