Best early in the morning. The baths are cleaned on Thursday but check the signs outside on the blackboard. There an amazing photo of the Baths completely under water the last big storm in Newcastle. There is a single lane pool or a larger pool just for enjoying the salt water and swimming to the edge and looking out to the ocean. Can be a little cool when you enter the water but all is forgotten when you begin to enjoy the whole picture.

The Bogey Hole is a Newcastle icon and a bit of a hidden secret. It was hand built by convicts who carved the bathing hole into ocean rock in 1819. It’s a little hard to get to which makes a dip here just that little bit more special.
