Merewether Beach

National Parks and Reserves

The iconic Merewether Beach is home to the international surfing competition, Surfest. It is part of a beach reserve that stretches from Dixon Park in the north to Burwood Beach in the south – with superb views in all directions.

Enjoy a coffee at a beachside cafe and watch as locals walk their dogs, parents juggle caffeine and kids with sandy hair and the surfers’ roll-up by the dozen.

Walk a bit further down the beach promenade, and you’ll find Merewether Ocean Baths, the largest Ocean Baths complex in the Southern Hemisphere.

Merewether Beach is the southern end of the popular Bathers Way walk.
