Nobbys to Newcastle is one of the prettiest courses you will ever do, particularly if you can breathe to the right.
It runs from the beach beneath Nobbys headland – near where the Pasha Bulker was grounded – around the rock shelf, past Newcastle Ocean Baths – one of the great ocean pools on the coast – and into Newcastle beach.
It passes the majestic residential district of Newcastle East, the famed surf spot, Cowrie Hole and into one of the only beaches that sit in a city’s CBD.
