Immerse in the arts and natural beauty
An integral part of the Lake Arts Precinct, alongside neighbouring Speers Point and Warners Bay at the northern end of the lake, Booragul is home to the award-winning Museum of Arts and Culture yapang. Fire your imagination as you view the waterfront art museum’s exhibitions of contemporary art, explore its leafy lakeside Sculpture Park and browse the handcrafted jewellery and homewares at its Shop MAC gift store.
Refuel at the museum’s light-filled café or step onto Booragul Public Wharf, right next to Museum of Arts and Culture yapang, for a Lunch on the Lake outing on the M.V. Lady Mac with Lake Macquarie Cruises. Explore the lake’s hidden waterways on its Loop the Lake cruise, or watch the sky darken on a Sunset Dinner sailing.
One of the largest marinas in New South Wales, Empire Marina Lake Macquarie faces the museum at adjoining Marmong Point. Check the marina’s events page for the next session of its popular Marina Live Music Picnics – if you time your visit, you can spend an afternoon enjoying a picnic to live entertainment on the waterfront.
Take in the spectacle of boats lit up in creative displays as part of the annual Float Your Boat competition from the foreshores of Booragul and Marmong Point. And feel energised as you listen to birds call out when you tackle the Awaba Bay Foreshore walk, hiking through bushland in a pocket of the Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area between Marmong Point and Bolton Point.
