Local Insights:
City & Beaches
Spring in Newcastle’s City & Beaches precinct brings longer mornings by the ocean, early surfers at Merewether, and the CBD waking with café-goers and gallery visitors.
Newcastle Ocean Baths
The coast and city blend seamlessly, inviting locals to balance work, culture, and seaside walks. From heritage terraces in Cooks Hill to sleek East End apartments and beachside family homes, the area offers a lifestyle where urban convenience meets coastal charm.
DID YOU KNOW?
Newcastle Ocean Baths officially opened in 1922, hand-excavated by unemployed miners during the Depression. Its art deco pavilion remains an iconic landmark.
