About Bateau Bay
Bateau Bay is located just a few kilometres South of The Entrance beside Shelly Beach featuring beautiful coastline walks. The area is very popular for fishing from the beach or the coastal rocks. The rock cliffs are an iconic feature of the Central Coast region as well as the many rocky walks ideal for exploring at low tide.
It's a laidback spot where you can enjoy sandy beaches, boating and fishing.
Bateau Bay History
Shipwrecked fishermen landed on the coast in 1796 and were fed by the local Aboriginals who then guided them back to Sydney. The first European settlers settled at Picnic Point in 1828, at the same time as Chinese fishermen who established a base at what is now called Toowoon Bay which is still known to some as Chinamans Bay. Visitors began to arrive here with the completion of the rail line from Sydney to Newcastle in 1889.
