Now everyone can enjoy sweeping views of the city and Pacific Ocean from Nobbys Headland. The Nobbys Lighthouse grounds are open to the public on the first and third Sunday of each month between 10am and 4pm. Entry to the site is FREE.

Parking is located adjacent to Nobbys Beach at Camp Shortland, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. The lighthouse is an 800 metre walk from the car park, with a steep climb at the end.

Once visitors complete the climb they will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Newcastle. This view is one that has been rarely seen as most of our vantage points look out to the Pacific Ocean rather than back on the city herself!

There is a small kiosk on site serving tea, coffee, cakes and other light refreshments. However, visitors are welcome to pack their own supplies and make the most of the beautiful 360 degree views.

The famous Newcastle Tram conducts tours of the City which includes a visit to Nobbys Lighthouse Grounds. The tram tours operate twice daily at 11am and 1pm weekdays and school holidays. For bookings and enquiries please contact Lance Cossar Phone: (02) 4977 2270, Mobile: 0418 307 166 or visit their website.

If you are looking for a unique venue for small wedding ceremonies, wedding photographs, special occasions, corporate functions, special events, filming and photography then this is the place. The site is available for hire and there is also a small cottage on site suitable for exhibition space.
