Patonga is a small beach side fishing and holiday village which is part of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, located on the edge of Brisk Bay and near the mouth of the Hawkesbury River.

Visitors from the Central coast, day trippers from Palm Beach, wider Sydney, Newcastle, and other areas of the NSW provide customers to the Boathouse Hotel and Kiosk.

Recreational facilities and infrastructure include a sports oval, a public boat ramp to the eastern end of the village, tennis courts, a public wharf and a two-hectare camping and caravan park located at the southern end of the village (accessed by Patonga and Bay Streets).

Patonga provided the setting for the fishing village of Graves Point in the 1996 television movie loosely based on Peter Benchley's novel, 'The Beast', a sci-fi horror-drama in which a rare giant squid threatens a small seaport community.

Patonga has also featured in many other movies and TV shows such as Oyster Farmer, Micro Nation, Home and Away and many other big known titles.
