Nice sandy beach. Patrolling. Lot of space, not crowded. Good place for young surfers. There is amenities (toilets with shower and change room). Nice cafe with coffee and ice cream. Lot of parking spots around with 4 hours permits so you can find some spots.

One of the best beaches in Newcastle! Clean, beautiful, and perfect for swimming or just relaxing by the water. Great surf, amazing views, and a nice coastal walk nearby. Perfect spot to spend the day!
