Down in the Bouddi Peninsula lies one of the Central Coast’s most exclusive towns, Killcare. Loved for their private, secluded location, these picturesque towns are a cosmopolitan retreat for celebrities and the affluential.

The name Killcare seems to hail from early last century as “killing one’s cares”. This quiet residential seaside village is a short drive to neighbouring towns such as Wagstaff and Hardy’s Beach, and just ten minutes drive to Booker Bay, Ettalong Beach and Umina Beach.

Killcare is within close proximity to Putty Beach, Tallow Beach and Bouddi National Park where visitors can take the walking track to Box Head. The Cockatoo Ferry runs to Hardys Bay Wharf seven days a week. Avid surfers and beach-goers will love Killcare Beach as well as Putty Beach which is tucked away in the Bouddi National Park.

Killcare looks over the Brisbane Waters across to Booker Bay. Prior to European settlement, Aboriginals from the coastal Guringai (Ku-ring-gai) tribe occupied Hardys Bay and its surrounds. Evidence of their existence in the area can be seen via rock carvings scattered through the town.
