Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Redhead Beach sits at Redhead, just south of Newcastle. A strong 4.7 rating from 371 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved beach.
The appeal is a beautiful, relaxed surf beach — long golden sand, rolling waves and the striking headland and heritage surf pavilion, perfect for a swim, a surf, a walk or simply soaking up the scenery. It's a genuine local favourite and a lovely spot to spend part of a day, away from the busier city beaches.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal patrols, so check current details and swim between the flags where patrolled. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
