How to get to every ocean pool in Newcastle and what to expect when you get there
Newcastle ocean rock pools are some of the best in Australia. Featuring five in a pretty small geographical area, Newcastle locals and tourists are spoiled for choice. Where will you do a lap?
From Soldiers Baths to mighty Merewether we’re looking forward to some great adventures along The Bather’s Way. Join us and Diana the duck as we check out what Newy has to offer in the ocean rock pool department.
Do a lap and swim them all!
Our goal is to do a lap and swim in all of the Newcastle's ocean rock pools to continue our journey
We plan on documenting what we find along the way
As a family of ocean pool lovers, we’ve set ourselves the almighty task of swimming in all of Australia’s ocean pools. In doing so we hope to create the ultimate guide for anyone wanting to follow in our footsteps.
We live in Wollongong, and they say Newcastle is our “sister city”. I know how much I love the ocean pools in The Gong, but I have to confess that I’m already falling for Newy’s ocean pools from a distance.

Creating a guide to ocean pools and their facilities
Everything you need to know before you pack your cossies and towel
Ocean pools are a big part of our lifestyle and culture for those of us lucky enough to live near the coast. They’re a special treat for those who have travelled from afar. They are places of fun, relaxation, fitness and friendship. Join us on our adventures as we explore everything that these salty beauties have to offer.
