What to see and do in Newcastle ?
A great way to start your day in Newcastle is talking a walk along the scenic Bathers Way coastal walk. The 5km walk is set along some of Newcastle’s best coastline and starts from the impressive Nobbys Headland lighthouse and makes it way to Burwood Beach. Along the way, make sure you stop in at Fort Scratchley, Australia’s only fort to have been engaged in a maritime attack!
After your walk, settle in for a day of sun at one of Newcastle’s eight beaches. Mereweather Beach is one of Newcastle’s most popular and features some of Newcastle’s best surf as well as the Southern Hemisphere’s largest ocean baths. Those travelling with children will also love hunting for crustaceans in Mereweather’s rock pools.
Travellers who love the water but are looking to try something a bit different can take a tour of Newcastle Harbour on a stand up paddleboard. Otherwise, a short drive north of Newcastle is the spectacular Port Stephens which is famous for its water sports and for being the dolphin capital of Australia.
If you want a break from the sun, Darby Street features Newcastle’s best boutique shopping as well as 20 cafés. Locals love heading to Newcastle’s fresh produce markets before packing a picnic and spending the afternoon relaxing in the gorgeous King Edward Park. Otherwise, spend the afternoon exploring Newcastle’s port. Newcastle is the biggest exporter of coal in the world and you will be amazed as extraordinarily huge freight ships, ferries and fishing boats navigate around one another with ease.
The Newcastle Art Gallery is well worth a visit where contemporary Australian art mixes with indigenous bark paintings and pieces from the colonial era.
