Local Insights Edition 13: Southern Lake Macquarie

Swansea Channel

Belmont is one of Lake Macquarie’s major town centres, sitting on the eastern shore of the lake. It is bordered by the oceanside Belmont Wetlands State Park and Blacksmiths Beach. It’s a popular sheltered sailing spot, with the Belmont 16s Sailing Club and Lake Macquarie Yacht Club based there.

Caves Beach offers a close-knit coastal community, popular among families with a local public school and other facilities.

The weekends usually bring visitors from Sydney who are keen to explore the caves themselves, which have been carved out by the sea over many years.

The proximity to Charlestown and access to the Central Coast and Sydney from these areas is also a major drawcard for buyers looking for a beach or lakeside lifestyle.
