Tips

Nobbys Beach is one of Newcastle’s most prominent and accessible beaches, nestled at the entrance to the Hunter River near the iconic Nobbys Head and lighthouse. It’s well known as one of the safer swimming spots in the city, popular with families, beginner surfers, and walkers enjoying the adjacent breakwall and coastal paths. Surrounded by open parkland, benches, picnic areas, and shaded shelters, the beach is a great place to relax and spend the day, with beautiful views of passing ships. It is also a great place to start or finish the Bathers Way coastal walk.
