Belmont and Marks Point
Belmont is one of Lake Macquarie’s town centres, located on the eastern shores of the Lake close to beaches and bushland. Belmont is well-known in sailing circles, with two major sailing clubs located on the waterfront; each the perfect setting to enjoy a meal or drink by the Lake. Further south lies the oceanfront Belmont Golf Club and Marks Point, home to Lake Macquarie Airport.
