It is located between Tuggerah Lake, Budgewoi Lake, and the Pacific Ocean. The town is in the Wyong Shire. At the channel connecting Tuggerah Lake and Budgewoi Lake the new Toukley bridge was constructed between 1983 and 1985 linking Toukley on the eastern side of the Lakes system with Gorokan on the west, replacing the old two lane wooden bridge.
