About Daleys Point

Daleys Point is a compact waterfront locality on the Bouddi Peninsula, within the Central Coast Council local government area of New South Wales. Located approximately 75 kilometres north of Sydney CBD and around 5 kilometres south-east of Woy Woy, the suburb has a population of 705 across just 1.3 square kilometres, giving it a notably high residential density. The area is characterised by quiet streets, water views, and a mix of long-term residents and holiday home owners drawn to its peaceful coastal setting on the shores of Brisbane Water.

Daleys Point offers an enviable lifestyle for those who value natural beauty and tranquillity — the suburb borders Brisbane Water National Park and enjoys close proximity to the waters of Brisbane Water and Broken Bay. Woy Woy provides the nearest major shops, schools, and services just a short drive away, while Gosford and the broader Central Coast are easily accessible. The resident demographic leans older, with many retirees and sea-change families attracted by the quiet streets, waterfront access, and sense of seclusion just an hour from Sydney.
