Forresters Beach is a coastal suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia between Terrigal and Bateau Bay. It forms part of the Central Coast Council local government area. Forresters Beach's reef breaks are well known to surfers. Its name comes from Robert Forrester who purchased 50 acres (200,000 m2) of land in 1861.
