The Esplanade itself is Terrigal’s central beachfront strip, a scenic walkway lined with tall Norfolk pines, boutique shops, buzzing cafés, and locals out walking their dogs or grabbing a gelato. It’s where the rhythm of the ocean meets the energy of the community. \n\nTerrigal Beach House is perfectly positioned at the heart of it all. With open-air seating and sweeping views over the sand and surf, it’s an ideal place to start your tour. The venue’s atmosphere is vibrant but unpretentious, whether it’s a sunny afternoon or golden hour approaching, there’s always a hum of laughter and clinking glasses.\n\nThe drinks menu leans into freshness and fun. For something light and local, try a crisp Aussie white wine or one of their rotating craft beers on tap. If you're in the mood for something playful, their signature cocktails, like the ‘Beach House Spritz’ or a passionfruit mojito, are refreshing and beach-appropriate. Non-drinkers aren’t left out either; house-made sodas and mocktails like the ‘Coconut Cooler’ offer a great alternative.","type":"text"},{"content":"As you sip, take a moment to watch the waves roll in and the surfers paddling just offshore. From this spot, you get a real sense of what makes Terrigal special: a mix of relaxed charm, coastal beauty, and welcoming energy.

The space is small and stylish, almost easy to miss, but step inside and you’ll find yourself in the hands of some of the region’s most creative chefs.","type":"text"},{"content":"Opened by acclaimed chef Nic Wood, Yellowtail has built a reputation for punchy, produce-driven plates that draw from Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian flavours. It's the kind of place where menus change frequently, depending on what’s fresh and in season, and where sharing a few dishes is the best way to explore the full range of what's on offer.","type":"text"},{"content":"The vibe is warm and intimate, with minimalist interiors that keep your focus on the food. Expect combinations like charcoal-grilled lamb with harissa, kingfish crudo with citrus and herbs, or tempura zucchini flowers with a whipped ricotta filling. The plating is beautiful, but never pretentious as each dish tells a story of both technique and restraint.","type":"text"},{"content":"If you're pairing with a drink, ask the staff for a wine recommendation. Their list leans heavily into small Australian producers, many with minimal-intervention or organic practices. It’s a thoughtful touch that reflects the restaurant’s ethos: local, seasonal, and full of personality.","type":"text"},{"content":"Dining here feels like being let in on a local secret; it's a bit quieter than the beach strip, but every bit as unforgettable. If you’re after bold flavour in a relaxed setting, this stop hits the mark.","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGpwSmksUZVuPL9gx05VN%2Ftts_1.mp3?alt=media&token=e944a4a2-4a56-4428-bd6d-dc93bba49f40"},{"address":"Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific by IHG","location":{"longitude":151.44512659999998,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitudeDelta":0.12262581792791331,"latitude":-33.448120510490284},"placeId":"ChIJd5HhSoi1cmsRH8p74qjC_SQ","media":[{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJd5HhSoi1cmsRH8p74qjC_SQ"},"type":"place"},{"content":"Finish your tour on a high note, literally, at The Deck Bar, perched above Terrigal Beach in the Crowne Plaza.

Behind you, palm trees sway above the hotel pool. In front, the Pacific glows with gold and pink tones as the sun begins to dip. It’s a perfect end-of-day scene.","type":"text"},{"content":"The Deck Bar offers a classic, reliable drinks list. A cold glass of Hunter Valley semillon is never out of place here, but if you're in the mood for something mixed, try the ‘Terrigal Sunset’, a tropical-style cocktail with rum, pineapple, and just a touch of lime. Or keep it simple with an icy Gin & Tonic and some bar snacks to share.","type":"text"},{"content":"If this happens to be your last night in Terrigal, consider extending your stay. There’s still more to uncover, sunrise walks, local art galleries, and paddleboarding on the lagoon. One more night might be just enough to discover what makes this place so hard to leave.","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGpwSmksUZVuPL9gx05VN%2Ftts_2.mp3?alt=media&token=fb825afb-fac5-4fc4-bd0a-5c837cd9124b"}]
