Description
Merewether SLSC
Established 1910
Bar Beach is better known by the names of its three surf clubs – Cooks Hill, Dixon Park and Merewether. It is surrounded by long established inner Newcastle suburbs and has excellent road and bus access, with large car parks adjacent to the three Surf Clubs. In addition two rock pools are located on the rock platform at Merewether. The surf clubs were formed in 1911, 1932 and 1910 respectively, attesting to both the long popularity of this beach and its inherent bathing hazards. The entire beach is 1.3km long, faces the south-east, receives waves averaging 1.6m and is bounded by wide rock platforms, backed by high cliffs. Merewether SLSC is located at the southern end of Bar Beach, with Dixon Park SLSC in the centre and Cooks Hill SLSC at the northern end.
