The Mantra Ettalong Beach Resort (formerly operated by Outrigger) and Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club was completed in 2005.The Atlantis residential development on the corner of Memorial Avenue and The Esplanade was completed in 2018 and marks a new benchmark for mixed use development in the village centre.

A "Fast Ferry" had been proposed from Ettalong to Circular Quay, Sydney. If it had been established, the service was expected to take only 40 minutes, compared to1 hour 15 min for the train journey from neighbouring Woy Woy to Sydney.However, the company behind this idea became bankrupt in 2008, and the Fast Ferry Proposal was abandoned.
