Avoca Beach is a short drive up the motorway from Sydney. I went for a friends birthday for the weekend. We rented tw appartments in the town. Lovely pacious bew apartments and the block also had a nice pool. When Avoca Beach is on your door step not much use for the pool.
The town has one street with lots of small locally owned shops. The beach is gorgeous and a great spot to soak up some sun. On the Saturday night we headed to Tarrigel for a Indian meal which was delicious then walked up the street to a pub before catching a free shuttle bus on to a few more bars. The only issue in this area is there are very limited taxis and no ubers. We did have to wait a very long time for a taxi to get back.
The Sunday morning we had booked breakfast at the cafe right on the beach. The food was brilliant and just what we needed to fix our sore heads from the night before.
