Plan Your Newcastle Holiday

Visitors travel to Newcastle for a variety of reasons. Many enjoy exploring Newcastle’s three top beaches, connected by a beautiful scenic stroll. History lovers enjoy exploring Fort Scratchley which played an active role during the Second World War when it came under attack by Japanese submarines. Pristine beach views can be seen while touring the fort and an added bonus is that this attraction is free. Art lovers will enjoy exploring Newcastle Art Gallery, followed by lunch in the nearby shopping area of Darby Street.

The summer months of December to February are the most popular with tourists heading to Newcastle, as they provide the best temperatures to enjoy the city’s beaches. We recommend booking your tickets to Newcastle several months prior to your anticipated summer travel dates to secure the best rates.
