Bathers Way is a 6-kilometre coastal walk in Newcastle, connecting Merewether Ocean Baths to Nobbys Beach, that runs right along the shoreline. It passes a string of beaches, ocean baths, and lookouts, with beautiful sweeping ocean views and a mix of paved paths, boardwalks, and clifftop sections. Along the way, the route combines natural scenery with layers of local history, including Aboriginal cultural connections to the coastline, shipwrecks and wartime sites, making it one of the region’s most iconic walks.
