ABOUT Copacabana
Copacabana is a suburb located on the Central Coast of New South Wales,
Australia, as part of the Gosford City Council local government area.
Copacabana (so named by real estate developers Wilmore and Randell, in the
mid twentieth century) is situated at the northern end of Macmasters Beach,
the two beaches divided by Cochrane Lagoon. The northern headland of
Copacabana beach is Tudibaring point, purported to mean 'place where the
waves pound like a beating heart' in the local indigenous language. The bay
itself is Allagai, which means 'nest of snakes' in the same language.
