Cogra Bay is bounded by the Hawkesbury River to the south, the mouth of the Mooney Mooney Creek to the west, Mullet Creek to the east, and the Brisbane Water National Park to the north. It consists of a number of properties accessible only by boat or by water taxi which goes to other parts of the Central Coast and Sydney. Although, due to shallow water in some parts of the bay, there may be limited access at low tide. Cogra Bay residents enjoy an off-grid lifestyle, using solar power and rain water tank storage.[2][3] The nearest railway station is Wondabyne.
