TOP THINGS TO DO IN NEWCASTLE
| Beach days… Australia’s sixth largest city, Newcastle boasts some of Australia’s best beaches. Nobbys, Newcastle, Bar, Dixon Park, Merewether and Stockton Beaches are all within 5 km of the city centre. All six beaches are patrolled and offer your family a safe place to swim and relax. Alternatively you can enjoy the protection of our ocean baths. |
 |
| Harbour sights... Newcastle is built around a large working harbour, the entrance to which is guarded by Nobbys Lighthouse and Breakwater. The adjacent foreshore area is the perfect place to while away the hours watching the busy harbour traffic while enjoying a drink or meal in one of the harbourside cafes, bars or restaurants. |
 |
| City nights... If you think just because the suns gone down there is nothing to do, you are really in the dark. Home to some of the finest entertainment venues on Australia's east coast, you can catch the very best of live performers from around the country and overseas.
Newcastle offers something for everyone... whether you want to dance to the beats of some of Australia's best DJ's, enjoy your favourite food or drink, or find a place where you can simply relax with family and friends.
