Why it's worth checking out
Dixon Park Beach sits along Newcastle's beautiful coastline in NSW, near Bar Beach and Merewether. With 58 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, it's a much-loved coastal spot.
The appeal is a lovely, patrolled surf beach — a gorgeous stretch of sand and surf backed by a grassy foreshore, a genuine favourite for a swim, a surf, a walk along the coast or simply soaking up the lovely Newcastle beachfront. It's a lovely, free outing.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal facilities, so check current details and swim between the flags where patrolled. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
