You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Woy Woy Bay.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Woy Woy Bay lies cradled by the gentle, embracing arms of Brisbane Water, a sapphire jewel set against the green velvet of the Central Coast. It lies 17.0 km north of Pittwater, NSW (from Pittwater, NSW: bearing 0°T), and is situated 5.5 km north of Umina Beach. The air here is thick with the scent of salt and eucalyptus, a heady perfume that whispers of the sea and the surrounding bushland. Across the wide expanse of the bay, the distant hills of the Bouddi Peninsula rise in soft, undulating waves, their slopes a patchwork of dense forest and sun-drenched clearings. Small fishing boats, their hulls weathered by brine and sun, bob lazily at their moorings, their white sails a cheerful contrast to the deep blue of the water, while further out, the larger vessels of the ferry service ply their routes, leaving faint white wakes that ripple and disappear. The foreshore is a gentle curve of sandy beaches and rocky outcrops, where the tide ebbs and flows with a predictable, soothing rhythm, and the occasional flash of a kingfisher's iridescent blue streaks across the water.
The history of Woy Woy Bay is deeply intertwined with its waterways, a lifeline for generations of Indigenous people and later, the European settlers who arrived seeking timber and fertile land. Early industries revolved around oyster farming and fishing, the bounty of Brisbane Water providing sustenance and a modest living. The construction of the railway line in the early 20th century brought a new wave of development, transforming Woy Woy Bay from a quiet fishing hamlet into a popular holiday destination, a place where city dwellers could escape the urban sprawl for the restorative embrace of the coast. Today, that heritage is still palpable, a blend of the old and the new; the echoes of a simpler time can be found in the weathered jetties and the quiet hum of the local markets, while the modern cafes and bustling ferry terminals speak to its enduring appeal as a vibrant, coastal hub. The light here at dusk, when the sun dips low, casts a golden hue across the water, painting the bay in shades of amber and rose, a daily spectacle that never fails to captivate.

Detailed location data for Woy Woy Bay includes the postcode (2256), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Central Coast Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Woy Woy Bay is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
