Patonga
Located on the Hawkesbury River, Patonga is a small community of around 200 inhabitants. Surrounded by Brisbane Water National Park, it is a great place to go bushwalking, or enjoy the water. A beautiful beach extends along the front of the town on the shores of Brisk Bay.
Shops opposite the beach offer meals and drinks, where you can dine in or eat on the beach.
Patonga means “oyster” in the Guringai people’s language, whose country stretches from the north side of Port Jackson to the southern end of Lake Macquarie.
Having just completed the Pearl Beach Patonga Fire Trail, we were looking for something to eat and somewhere to relax. We bought take-away coffee and morning tea at the cafe before walking to the beach to relax and eat.

What Did We Think?
A great place to stop and relax on the beach, or go boating. If you like bush walking, this is one end of the Fire Trail that leads to Pearl Beach, so is a great place to relax before or after you do the walk.
