After checking into your accommodation of choice, you’ll probably want to venture out and explore. If you’re eager to check out the beaches, head to Blacksmiths Beach or Dudley Beach for some relaxation by the water. Discover the area’s lakeside setting and shopping, and make time for local attractions like Lake Macquarie and Speers Point Park. You can also pay a visit to Hunter Ice Skating Stadium or Charlestown Square for more to see and do.
