Avoca Beach is a suburb located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, as part of the Gosford City Council local government area. The Central Coast is an urban region, located on the coastline north of Sydney and south of Lake Macquarie and Newcastle.[4] Avoca Beach itself is located approximately 95km north of the Sydney central business district. Avoca Beach is named after a farm that was once located there. It was promised to John Moore on 4 January 1830. The official deeds were not issued until 30 September 1839 due to the difficulty in surveying the land. He built a house opposite Bulbararing Lake (now known as Avoca Lake) and planted vines and fruit trees which were there until residential development began during the 20th century. John Moore continued to occupy the land until 1857.
