Newcastle boasts a large working harbour, the entrance to which is guarded by Nobby's Breakwater and Lighthouse - probably the most famous Newcastle icon. The adjacent Harbour Foreshore area is the perfect place to wile away the hours watching the busy harbour traffic while enjoying a drink or meal in one of the harbour side cafes, bars or restaurants.
Large expanses of grassy parklands on the harbour's edge are perfect for a picnic.
Mingle with the hundreds of Novocastrians who flock to the foreshore area each weekend for recreational activities such as kite flying, roller-blading, jogging and bike riding.
