With large swells forecast this weekend, City of Newcastle is reminding the community that all beaches remain closed in response to COVID-19 restrictions and seasonal patrols have ceased at Stockton, Newcastle and Dixon Park, along with Merewether Ocean Baths.
Lifeguards are still patrolling Nobbys, Bar and Merewether beaches and Newcastle Ocean Baths through the cooler months, where they continue to monitor public safety and encourage adherence to social distancing measures.
