Merewether Ocean Baths

Merewether Baths, officially Merewether Ocean Baths, are heritage-listed ocean pools at Merewether Beach in Newcastle, New South Wales. Built in 1935 as a Great Depression relief project, they are the largest ocean baths in the Southern Hemisphere. The complex includes a 100-metre main pool and a smaller children's pool filled with filtered seawater, set against a coastal promenade with views of the Pacific Ocean and adjacent surf beach.
