A man and a woman have died after being pulled from the water unconscious on the Central Coast of New South Wales.

Just before 4.20pm on Wednesday, emergency services were called to Frazer Beach, around 50km south of Newcastle, after reports two people had been pulled from the water unresponsive.

Witnesses began CPR before paramedics arrived but neither of the pair could be revived.

Police said that while the two people were yet to be formally identified, they were believed to be in their 40s.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
