About iCentralCoast

Welcome to our local guide to the Central Coast NSW.

The Central Coast is a beautiful region just north of Sydney. With its beaches, bushwalks, and small coastal towns, it is the perfect getaway for families, couples, and solo travellers.

iCentralCoast is a local travel and lifestyle website that offers practical guides, tips, and reviews to help you explore the region like a local. Whether you're planning a weekend trip or a longer escape, this site will help you find the best beaches, lookouts, walks, and local gems.

My name is Christine Lemieux. I am a web designer and SEO consultant based on the Central Coast NSW, and the founder of iCentralCoast and The Phoenix Digital.

I moved to the Central Coast over 15 years ago after living in Sydney. Back then, I struggled to find reliable, up-to-date information about the area. So I began exploring it myself, one beach, trail, and local café at a time.

I'm the main writer and editor of iCentralCoast. Over the years, I’ve documented everything I’ve learned and loved, and now share that knowledge through photo guides, practical travel tips, and local insights. Every article is reviewed by me to ensure it’s accurate and helpful.

I also apply the latest SEO best practices to keep this site fast, user-friendly, and easy to find on Google.
