Autumn Epic! Newcastle - Redhead: Coastal Wonder - 15KM Medium/Hard Newcastle

COASTAL WONDER!

This fantastic walk commences at Newcastle Beach from where we head up to the King Edward Park Lookout for a grand view of this wonderful port city. We then head south, along some amazing beaches (no sand walking!) and take a bathroom break at the heritage Mereweather Ocean Baths, 4.5km away.

A further 3km of stunning ocean front takes us to Glenrock Lagoon and our lunch break. NO FOOD AT THIS DESTINATION, SO PLEASE BRING YOUR LUNCH.

After lunch we go bush for more sneaky trails and through to Dudley Beach and Awabakal Nature Reserve which ends at Redhead Beach, where we find Club Redhead for a refreshment while we wait for our bus to Adamstown Train Station, where we join the train service back to Sydney
