Originally an island, this headland at the entrance to Newcastle Harbour was joined to the mainland by a stone breakwater built by convicts between 1818 and 1846; many of those poor souls were lost to the wild seas during construction. The walk along the spit towards the lighthouse and meteorological station (open on Sundays) and beyond along the long breakwater is exhilarating, but don't do it in high seas.
