Story by Jonathan
Cruising in Copacabana
Adventure in Copacabana, Central Coast, NSW, AU
Thanks We Are Explorers for supporting this story.
As we made our way through the twists and turns on the road out to Copacabana, I knew this was going to be a weekend to remember.
The lakeside property is decked out with everything you'd need to keep yourself entertained for a weekend away and has ample space for activities both indoors and out. The open plan living area is a perfect area to kick your feet up but also doubled nicely as a makeshift yoga studio for the crew. The backyard is huge and is home to one of the best features of the house, the lakeside fire pit. So pack some extra firewood and be sure to get some quality time around the fire.
Want to step out and head exploring? Well lucky for you, the Central Coast has a cornucopia of adventures to offer. Whether it’s a surf at one of the stunning beaches scattered along the coastline, a paddle out on Cockrone Lagoon, or a tasty beachside coffee from one of the local cafes, you won’t struggle to find what you’re looking for.
So if you’re looking for a place to disconnect with the world and reconnect with nature and the people around you, Copacabana is the place to be.
P.S in case you were wondering, there’s no limit on the number of times you should play Copacabana by Barry Manilow on the speakers throughout your stay.

Things We Did
- Kayak
- Yoga
- Surf
- Experience
- Swim
One of the perks of being perched up by the water is the ability to roll out of bed and straight into a kayak on Cockrone Lagoon. Paddle all the way over to the coastline where you’ll have your pick of having a dip at either MacMasters or Copacabana Beach. Don’t miss the rope swing on the way out!
Clear out the living room area, arrange for a Yoga instructor to come by and you’ll be getting limber on the timber in no time. Though you can head to a studio or roll your mat out at the park, when it comes to my favourite place to do yoga, there’s no place like ommmm.
Being a surfer on the Central Coast is like being a kid in a candy shop. If you’re keen to find a wave, you’ll have a variety of options all within a short drive. Avoca Beach is one of the most consistent spots on the coast and the beach break offers a variety of peaks to catch a wave. As always, don’t forget to wrap up your session with a healthy serving of fish and chips on the sand.
There’s nothing better than winding down after a day of activities by having a chat around the fire. Lucky for you, the outdoor fire pit by the water can accommodate the whole crew, is right at your doorstep and the perfect place to share the adventures of the day. PS. Don’t forget the firewood!
Looking to get your fix of the sun on the skin and saltwater in your hair? Copacabana Beach is only a 10-minute walk down the road and right next to the town centre. So grab your morning coffee and find a spot nice spot on the sand, trust me, you won't want to get up for a while.
