The sun was great, got a nice tan. The beach itself wasn't overcrowded. There were waves, but not enough bigger waves, so not much opportunity to body surf. Overall, pleasant.

Beautiful setting right on the beach front at Terrigal. Great for coffee, light snacks and lunch. Very busy on a beautiful day. Limited parking, so get there early. Go for an early walk and have a delicious breakfast or coffee.
Close proximity to shops and excellent variety of eateries
Great for small families for the little ones to roam
I live a few minutes from Terrigal beach it is lovely and has lots of good restaurants and interesting little shops. Weekends tend to get very crowded and parking can be a hassle . Visit during the week
It's a beautiful beach within close proximity to Sydney.
The waves are not huge, you need to go a bit further to Wamberal to see any signs of surfing conditions but this makes it very suitable for families.
Surprisingly, the surrounding Haven and local restaurants have retained their basic simplicity - little sign of the over-development you see in Queensland...

We spent a short break in Terrigal just to wind down before Easter. The place is very pleasant and the beach enjoyable. We had a lovely coffee at the cafe attached to the surf club. The atmosphere and view were lovely. The shops are touristy and fresh and the place doesn't have that grungy feel so common in Australian seaside...

It is reasonably calm, not so crowded and a lovely place to just relax.
