You dont always want beach so we have thoughtfully provided an alternative. It's Brisbane Waters, the beautiful lake system that stretches from Broken Bay and the entrance to the Hawkesbury up to Gosford. One way of taking in the beauty and birdlife of BW is to take an early morning stroll (or a jog, it perfectly flat) along the Kincumber foreshore. From Macs take the Scenic Rd as if you are heading to Gosford when you get to the Coles at Kincumber (roundabout, coles on right Maccas on left) turn left. That takes you about 100m down to the foreshore. Park and start the walk here. You can follow the path for about 2.5km along the foreshore and then return. Keep going if you like and you can explore Davistown and Saratoga.
