Along the way it passes Newcastle Ocean Baths, Newcastle Beach, Bogey Hole, King Edward Park, the Memorial Walk, Bar Beach, Dixon Park Beach, and Merewether Ocean Baths. Interpretive signs on Aboriginal culture and city history, drinking fountains, and cafés line the route, and you can swim whenever you like. Walking the whole route takes about 2 hours.
