Lake Macquarie is a large coastal salt-water lake at the south of the Hunter
Region and about an hour drive from Sydney. It is four times the size of
Sydney Harbour and good for sailing, fishing, swimming, cruising and scuba
diving.
Walk around the foreshore or swim at one of beaches. Surfing is possible
at Blacksmiths, Caves, Catherine Hill Bay and Dudley. Wangi Point, Pelican,
Cam 's Wharf and Shingle Splitter's Point are good for swimming. The Watagan
Mountains at the back of the Lake Macquarie have hiking and horse back riding
trials.
