Description: Tucked between the Hawkesbury and the open sea, Pretty Beach is one of the Central Coast's quietest treasures — and this richly detailed guide unfolds its many layers. From the sandstone shelves of Bouddi National Park and the deep-time story of the Brisbane Water Country's First Peoples, to the colonial oyster trade, weatherboard cottages and tidal rockpools, each chapter draws the reader closer to the place. Part natural history, part cultural portrait and part walking companion, it's an essential read for anyone drawn to this stretch of the NSW coast.
