Swoosh. #ocean #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Had a paddle. Too gorgeous a day not to at least get my feet wet. #ocean #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

$View to the ocean horizon from the shallows at Bar Beach. Clear ankle deep water breaking in a little wave at the sandy edge. The sun makes lovely refractive patterns. A few metres out, there's a big chunk of rock sticking out of the water. A swimmer just beyond that is standing about waist deep in the water. Pale blue sky with a thin line of fluffy cloud.$

Coffee view. #ocean #coffee #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Takeaway coffee in foreground. Beyond that, view of the beach and ocean out to horizon. Long line of white clouds on pale blue sky. Darker blue water, very calm.

Decided i needed some more vitamin sea before heading home. Not swimming, just hanging out here. #ocean #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

A swimmer jogs northwards along Bar Beach close the breaking waves. Light sandy beach, grey tinged ocean, and cloudy sky. Strong onshore winds kicking up a fair bit of white helped by a rising tide.

Interesting cloud shape over the beach. Christmas angel? Huge deep dwelling fish? Something else? #clouds #pareidolia #BarBeach #NewcastleAU

Looking southwards along Bar Beach at dusk. Lots of yellow along the coastal hills with grey water and clouds. Big cloud shaped like a weird fish or Christmas angel.

Then i headed to the beach, only 5 mins away. #BarBeach #NewcastleNSW #ocean #NewcastleAU

Seagull perched on the white top railing of the fence overlooking the sandy beach and grey ocean. Its giving me the side-eye like "wtf were you thinking not bringing the chips!?" Dusk after a rainy and overcast day.

Getting some vitamin sea on the way home. No coffee view today though - peppermint tea instead. #tea #ocean #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Peppermint tea in a mug on a shaded picnic table with an ocean and beach view behind. Light sand, blues, greens and rows of white breaking waves. Part of a halloumi salad in a takeaway box in foreground.

Time to head home. #ocean #swim #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Above the hill and amenities building at Bar Beach, the sky is getting progressively darker grey. Not shown - flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. No rain yet but you can smell it.

Storm brewing. #ocean #swim #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Looking southwards along the sand from Bar towards Merewether Beach. Overcast day with darker grey building over Merewether.

There was also a beach swim. #ocean #swim #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Looking out to the ocean horizon from Bar Beach on an overcast day. There are adults and kids swimming in the water and a parent crouched at the edge holding a toddler in ankle deep water.

Coffee view #ocean #coffee #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Takeaway coffee up on a weathered wooden bench overlooking the sand and waves at Bar Beach. There are two white and blue lifeguard rescue boards (surfboard shaped) resting on the sand. Blue skies, sunshine and lots of white from breaking waves in green-blue water.

Rather than going home (and probably collapsing back into bed today, i've headed to the beach for a coffee. Strong southerly - just about getting blown away. Lovely day though. #ocean #coffee #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Looking out to sea over Bar Beach on a sunny day.

Headland. #ocean #swim #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

The rocky headland above the turquoise water at the northern end of Bar Beach. The Anzac Memorial walk goes up along the cliffs to Strzelecki Lookout. There's a paraglider in the distance just off the cliff of you zoom in.

Rock 'n' roll. #ocean #swim #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Greyish rock rising out of the clear turquoise water at the granny pool. Rough, flat-topped with rounded sloping ends, the rock is 2ish metres long and maybe sticks out about 1m above the water. Water depth well over a metre here (i'm 5'4"/162cm and the level came up almost to my neck when it was calm). Gentle waves often lifted me up off the sand and floated me over the swell.

In the water.

$Looking southwards while swimming not far from shore at Bar Beach. Water dominates the view, a clear pale turquoise green, full of refracted light. Light sand, green vegetation and buildings are visible further along the beach. Blue sky and early afternoon light.$

Blissy. #ocean #swim #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Looking out to the ocean horizon from the shore near the Granny Pool (large natural rock pool at the northern end of Bar Beach). Water is clear, ranging from pale green through turquoise to navy blue. The sun glitters of the water. Sky is light blue and cloudless.

Skipped the beach drive by and headed straight here to grab coffee and a bite to eat, then change into my bathers. #ocean #coffee #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Floral takeaway coffee cup on shaded picnic table overlooking turquoise and darker blue waves just off Bar Beach. A few bathers in the water.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. #ocean #coffee #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU #hangglider

Hang glider flying on the left, seagull on the right against cloudy skies.

Hang glider out now too. #ocean #coffee #BarBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU #hanglider
