About Umina Beach
Umina Beach is a relaxed coastal village on the Central Coast, where over 17,000 residents enjoy beautiful beaches without Northern Beaches prices. The suburb sits on the Woy Woy peninsula, accessible via ferry from Palm Beach or road through the tunnel. The beach itself is excellent—long, sandy, and far less crowded than Sydney alternatives.
The West Street shopping strip maintains genuine beach-town character, with cafes, surf shops, and local businesses serving the community. The surrounding bushland of Brisbane Water National Park adds hiking options. Umina attracts sea-changers, retirees, and young families seeking coastal lifestyle at accessible prices. It's the Central Coast at its most unpretentious—good beach, good community, good value.
Umina Beach falls under postcode 2257 and is governed by Central Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gosford electorate.
