- Sunblock.
- Sunglasses.
- Water.
- A beach umbrella.
- Plenty of snacks to share, like strawberries, mango, sushi or whatever your date loves!

If you’re going in the afternoon to watch the sunset, remember to bring extra layers for when it cools down!
5. Escape room.
Where: 820/810 Hunter St, Newcastle West NSW 2302
If you really want to get to know your date well, why not put them under a lot of stress in a short period of time by taking them to an escape room? Sounds perfect.
If you both love mystery, puzzles and a bit of stress, then an escape room at Unexpected Exit is the perfect date in Newcastle for you! Work together to figure out clues, solve puzzles and make your way through the escape room to find your way out.
However, escape rooms probably aren’t the best for a first date since there’s no time for small talk when the clock is ticking. But, whether it’s your third date or the third year of your relationship, then definitely try an escape room to mix things up.
6. Karaoke.
Where: Charlestown Square, 201/30 Pearson St, Charlestown NSW 2290
Head to your nearest karaoke bar to enjoy singing some of your favourite songs with your date. You can book a private karaoke room at Strike Charlestown to serenade your date and show off your amazing singing, or just show off that you know all the words to a song.
The venue also provides fun props in the karaoke room and can deliver drinks to your private room. So, grab your dancing shoes and head to your karaoke room to enjoy dancing, singing and a few drinks on your fun date night out!
7. Mini golf.
Where: Charlestown Square, 201/30 Pearson St, Charlestown NSW 2290
If you’re after a fun, playful and slightly competitive date, then sign you and your date up for mini golf. With fun courses to putt your way through, it’s great to show your date your skill, or let them teach you how to putt better. Mini golf dates are also great because there’s plenty of time to chat while playing the game and lets you get to know your date better.
