    Just do it!
    This is a fantastic coastal walk. We had a beautiful summer's day, nice breeze and clear skies, and in these conditions I think it was as spectacular as any other coastal walking trail in the country, with commanding views of the city, the beaches below and the ocean. It is a not a long or demanding walk. It was not the right time of year for whale watching when we visited, but we were told it can be an excellent spot for that activity as well.

    Wow, what a view
    Fantastic walk from newcastle city centre over to Merewether Surf house. It is long approx 10km return but well worth it for the views. Plenty of places to stop to eat or swim. It was very hot the day we did it so make sure to take water. Also a few big hills so not an easy walk but quite achievable for most.

    Beautiful Walk
    A very scenic trail and walk that's very popular. Amazing views of the coastline. Easy walk if you stay on the main bridge, otherwise for a challenge take the stairs. Historic information plaques along the way. Enjoyed walking here.

This walk stretches from Merewether Beach all the way to Nobby's Head. The memorial portion is a fitting tribute to our servicemen and women.
The views are spectacular.
I would recommend downloading the map of the walk which provides a great deal of insight into the fascinating geology you will see along the way.

What a spectacular coastal walk! We found our family name on the list as well. Situated up on the edge of the cliff between Bar Beach and King Edward Park. The eastern end off the carpark is more easily accessible with less stairs. This is a must do during a sunrise or sunset

What a fabulous way to see Newcastle. The walk is a bit tough at the start going up a hill from the carpark and up a lot of stairs, but its worth it as the rest of the walk is on a boardwalk, so much easier.

We really oved the Anzac statues with the names veterans engraved , and the signs about the ANZAC history.

Great beach front walks. Crashing waves. Sea pools with people swimming or dabbling in the surf in the middle of winter. Popular with many walkers. Fantastically developed and lit. Historical artifacts to keep your interest.

Newcastle’s premier walk, incredible views of beaches and sandstone cliffs overlooking the Pacific, great at any time of day, pet friendly, plenty of drinking stations along the way. Stunning views over Newcastle at sunset. Highly recommended!

This walk is sometimes mentioned as Newcastle’s best sight. That seems a bit excessive to us. After all, it’s really just a metal walkway. No one seemed to be very interested in the memorial exhibits during our visit. Nonetheless, there is no denying the beauty of the cliff top walk here, with fantastic views of Merewether Beach and beyond.

This walk is interesting. Places to stop and take a moment to check out the view. It is a wonderful memorial to our past armed services. The iron cut outs were special. The stories worth a read. Brillant

Silly us went mid afternoon in the heat... but it was a beautiful beautiful walk. It was quite a while before we found anywhere to buy water or stop for an icecream, so maybe take some water with you. There were a couple of sections not so obvious on where to go, or maybe we just missed the signs! but that was part of the fun and extra exploring. Would love to do this walk again next time we're in Newcastle, maybe when it's a little cooler.

Great walk with a view.

You can park up the top to avoid the stairs. Or park on the street and walk up via stairs. Locals use this for their morning walk.
Amazing view 360 degree views.
