Just past the more feted One Mile Beach and tucked under a green headland you'll find a double-scalloped bay with swathes of virgin sand and turquoise water so clear you can see each individual tear of joy as it falls to the soft, sandy bottom. Came here in June, which should be winter, right? Not here. We swam, we sunbaked, I got a dadblamed tan, yo! In June! That shit cray. Apart from a few abalone divers up in the car park we had the beach to ourselves, it was like being the last people left on earth only instead of being hunted by zombies we were lying on easy street. My #1 beach in the area. There's some super clear rockpools and giant rock formations dropped like a giant's toys along the shoreline that are fun to walk & swim around. Sell your kids to get here.

The outcrop jutting out into the ocean can be accessed via a trail. Good snorkeling too (obviously pick the least choppy side of the outcrop).

It's everything a north coast beach should be, you can run and bake and surf and read in perfect, pristine privacy, or something very closely approximating it. Don't know if the surf is any good? Get ye up the wooden lookout tower near the car park and have your bad self a look-see. Mebbe there's waves. Mebbe there ain't. Either way it's worth your while. It's super close to town too, so if you wanted to, ohhhh I don't now, mebbe get some hot chips wrapped up in butcher's paper and take them down to the sand to scoff, that's entirely within the realms of possibility.

You should also walk to the cliffs along the Anzac Memorial Walk. Also close to a nice park, Dawson park. This shore is one of the most beautiful walks in Newcastle. I'd chose this as one of the places to see if you're only in Newcastle for a little while.
