Why it's worth checking out

Susan Gilmore Beach sits below Memorial Drive near Bar Beach in Newcastle, tucked beneath the cliffs. With 420 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved local spot.

The appeal is a dramatic, secluded beach — a hidden stretch of sand framed by rugged cliffs and reached by a walk down, a lovely spot to escape the crowds and soak up the raw coastal scenery, popular with those seeking a quieter beach. It's a genuine Newcastle gem for those in the know.

Beaches have changing conditions, tides and this one is unpatrolled with a steep access, so take care, heed local safety advice and swim only where it's safe. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take your time.

Spot Score

57

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.6 from 420 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
