6 Beaches, Several Lookout Points & Dolphins & Whales (if you’re lucky)
Bathers Way Coastal Walk的点评
点评:Bathers Way is a 6km long coastal walking trail that runs between Merewether Ocean Baths and Nobbys Beach. You can start at either end but it’s not a looped trail so if like us, you have a car, you’ll need to re-trace your steps to get back to your starting point.
We only did a section of the walk but it really is stunning. It covers 6 beaches (Nobbys, Newcastle Beach, Susan Gilmore Beach, Bar Beach, Dixon Park Beach, and Merewether) and has sweeping views of the pacific Ocean and the dramatic coastline.
There are parks and several lookout points along the way and we were told that people often see whales and dolphins while walking, although we were not that lucky.
Bathers Way also connects up with the very lovely Memorial Walking Trail. Built in 1915, this section of the walk is along an elevated bridge-like path and commemorates the ANZAC soldiers who served in WWI.
The path itself varies and whilst there are no really difficult parts, there are several sections with stairs. There are also some diversions at the moment around Newcastle Beach where they are carrying out construction work to improve the trail. Because of this, we skipped this part and only did the sections between the Strzelecki Lookout and Dixon Park Beach. Whilst we missed out on a significant part of the trail, we plan to return another time when work has finished.
A nice place to stop for a coffee is at Swell, a casual beachside cafe which overlooks Bar Beach.
翻译:Bathers Way 是一条 6 公里长的沿海步行道,位于梅里韦瑟海洋浴场 (Merewether Ocean Baths) 和诺比斯海滩 (Nobbys Beach) 之间。您可以从任一端开始,但这不是一条环形路线,因此如果像我们一样,您有一辆车,则需要重新跟踪您的步骤才能回到起点。
我们只走了一段路,但确实令人惊叹。它涵盖 6 个海滩(Nobbys、Newcastle Beach、Susan Gilmore Beach、Bar Beach、Dixon Park Beach 和 Merewether),可将太平洋和壮丽的海岸线尽收眼底。
沿途有公园和几个了望点,我们被告知人们在散步时经常看到鲸鱼和海豚,尽管我们没有那么幸运。
沐浴之路还与非常可爱的纪念步行道相连。这段步道建于 1915 年,沿着一座高架桥式小路而建,旨在纪念在一战中服役的澳新军团士兵。
路径本身各不相同,虽然没有真正困难的部分,但有几个部分有楼梯。目前纽卡斯尔海滩周围也有一些改道,他们正在进行建设工作以改善步道。因此,我们跳过了这一部分,只进行了 Strzelecki Lookout 和 Dixon Park Beach 之间的部分。虽然我们错过了这条路线的重要部分,但我们计划在工作完成后再次返回。
Swell 是一个停下来喝咖啡的好地方,这是一家休闲海滨咖啡馆,俯瞰着巴尔海滩。
