A beautiful place to spend the day and swim. Parking are usually 2 hours but public transports are available. They have toilets and large change rooms. There is a restaurant next door.
This was our first return visit to this magnificent 100+ year old ocean pool since its major upgrade was completed in December, and wow! Channeling Jorn Utzon via Jeffrey Smart, the sleek minimalist refurbishment of Newcastle Ocean Baths is just stunning, taking full advantage of both the epic scale and wild location of one of the largest NSW ocean pools.nnThe finishes are high-end, from the smooth monumental concrete to the marine-grade stainless steel handrails, this is casual luxury for the common people, with no entry fee and loads of free parking. There’s even a Brutalist Lifeguard station, the likes of which we’ve never seen before.nnNext they’re going to upgrade the change facilities, and if they can deliver that at this standard then this really will be a people’s paradise and well worth the drive. Heck, it is already. And so photogenic!nnWe arrived here as a storm rolled in from the ocean, sending waves crashing over one corner and generally adding to the atmosphere. Beautiful. Will return again and again.
Very nice and large beach pool.nNot too busy today as it's a public holiday.nnNotice one of the facilities is under maintenance.nnGood place to visit.
Merewether Ocean Baths is an incredible swimming spot in Newcastle, it is meticulously clean and being near Merewether beach and surrounding cliffs creates a breathtaking view. It is very family friendly as it features a pool for kids with a long sandbank.nnAlso its main quality.. It is MASSIVE! I went on Australia Day and No matter how crowded it got, there was just endless water.nnIt was 100% worth the 2 hour drive from Sydney, I definitely will be back!
The new baths are better than expected! I was very nervous when they were renovating that it would lose its retro charm but thankfully it has not.nnSo glad it's finally open and I can do my morning laps a little closer to work, and so I can laze about in the afternoon with friends.
