Venues
Words on the Waves Writers Festival will primarily be held at select venues in Umina Beach, a sun-drenched coastal village on the Central Coast, NSW.


Main Program Venues
The Words on the Waves Writers Festival main program events (4 and 5 June 2022) will take place at the Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club (509 Ocean Beach Rd, Umina Beach) and the Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club (176 The Esplanade, Umina Beach).
There are large free car parks adjacent to both venues. With both boasting a panoramic beach view, these Festival venues are hard to beat!
There will be a courtesy bus running between these venues at the lunch break. Otherwise it is a seven minute stroll via a quiet back lane or even better, along the scenic beach!
