Located on the east coast of NSW and a 2-hour drive north from Sydney, Newcastle is one of Australia’s best-kept secrets.
The city is surrounded by golden sand beaches, a breathtaking coastline and a beautiful working harbour. Experience the thriving bar, cafe and restaurant scene, unique architecture and rich history that stretches from the city to the suburbs. You’ll discover on-trend designer shops and artisan markets, and countless outdoor activities to fill your visit.
Head down to Nobbys Beach or Newcastle Beach and walk along the Newcastle Memorial Walk to Mereweather Beach. Take in the scenery from Hickson Street Lookout or make your path towards Glenrock.
Head around to Anna Bay and take the leap at Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters. For a more down to earth experience, why not head to Watagans National Park for the Great North Walk. With so much to see and do, Newcastle is the perfect rendezvous.
