Terrigal is a major coastal suburb of the Central Coast region of NSW, located 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Gosford, on the Pacific Ocean.
The town's long beach is highly popular with tourists. Of geographical significance are the Terrigal lagoons.
Just to the east of the town, a local landmark is "The Skillion". This rocky outcrop provides wonderful views of the area. In recent years the Skillion has undergone restabilisation by the local council but has maintained its ability to draw tourists and locals to its peak.
The Skillion is on a preserved area of land known as "The Haven". The Haven is centred by a popular public oval which is home of the "Terrigal Trojans" - a Rugby Union club. The new club house, provided by Gosford City Council. As well as being home of the Trojans, The Haven has a popular boat ramp which is partnered by a diving club and a very select few restaurants due to the tight development restrictions on the area.
