Newcastle Beach

Natural Attractions

Right at the heart of the action, this is one of our most popular beaches. With cafes, beach kiosks, Newcastle Mall and hotels close by, it’s easy to understand why.

Newcastle Beach has a reputation for being one of the best surf locations in Australia and is a favoured spot for board riders wishing to catch that perfect wave off Newcastle Point.

Lifeguard Services are provided seven days a week during swimming season.

A stroll between Newcastle Beach and Nobbys Beach will take approximately 15 minutes along the scenic Bather’s Way, with iconic Newcastle Ocean Baths in between.

There is easy access to the beach by using light rail and bus facilities.

Facilities include volley ball nets, change rooms and a kiosk.
