Central Coast Home & Lifestyle Summer 2018

Home Lifestyle Central Coast

Editor’s Note...

Dear Readers, Summer is finally here and it is time to prepare for Christmas, make our New Year resolutions, and to enjoy and cherish the time we spend with our family and friends. As we move into our traditionally warmer season, summer is the time of year to be carefree and enjoy fun activities outdoors. Fortunately we live in an area with so many things to do and see, and it really is the simple things in life that makes most of us happy. We are so lucky to live here on the Coast with such a relaxed lifestyle offering pristine beaches, stunning natural features and our picturesque national parks, which makes our region an attractive place to live and work. We cover many topics each edition and this issue is no exception. I hope you have enjoyed reading our 2018 editions of the magazine. We feature lots of local small local businesses each edition in the magazine who rely on you to support them by shopping local, and sadly many small businesses are having to close due to not having the much needed support from our community, as they battle along and try to compete with the larger organizations with their offerings. Please be mindful of this when you are looking for gifts, products and services this Christmas and in the new year. I would like to say a special thank you to all of the local businesses that are kind enough to place our magazines on their counters for our new and loyal readers to pick up from them every issue, your

Pearl Beach honours its name, it is a real gem. It is a place to find tranquility with a great sense of peace and allow you to relax. Besides watching your children, you can spend hours contemplating the beautiful coastline of Broken Bay and Box Head. It is a great place to wind down, the perfect choice for a day trip escape and the perfect place to get away from it all.
