Newcastle Council says many of the city's southern beaches have been severely impacted by the huge seas over the long weekend.
Bar Beach in particular has been significantly stripped of sand leaving a large drop-off between the sea wall and the promenade, while beach access ways at Merewether, Bar Beach and Dixon Park have been closed for safety reasons.
Council says Stockton Beach has been overtopped by waves in some sections and several beach access ways are closed as a result.
But there's been no reports of private property damage in the area.
