	Suburbs around Ettalong Beach:

Ettalong Beach is a suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, located south of Woy Woy on Brisbane Water at the point where it means Broken Bay, about 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Sydney. It is part of the City of Gosford local government area. Ettalong Beach is the natural northward continuation of Umina Beach.

The Mantra Ettalong Beach Resort (formerly operated by Outrigger) and Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club was completed in 2005.

A "Fast Ferry" was been proposed from Ettalong to Circular Quay, Sydney. If it had been established, the service was expected to take only 40 minutes, compared to 1 hour 15 min for the train journey from neighboring Woy Woy to Sydney.

However, the company behind this idea went Bankrupt in 2008, and the Fast Ferry Proposal is now officially scrapped (http://www.peninsulanews.asn.au/News/08/0211/Released.asp)

The suburb is composed largely of retired couples and young families.
