The Newport

Last updated April 2026

The Newport offers families a relaxed, welcoming spot where kids can enjoy a kid-friendly menu while parents unwind after a day at the beach. The pub’s large outdoor area feels like a backyard party, with space to run around, shaded picnic tables, and a kids’ play zone that keeps little ones entertained for hours. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner with friends. With ocean breezes drifting in and a menu that actually pleases both adults and children, it’s the kind of place where parents can finally enjoy a coffee without chasing toddlers. Situated just a short walk from Newport Beach, it’s a practical stop for families exploring Sydney’s northern beaches. Great for kids activities in Newport, Sydney’s school holiday activities, or just a laid-back family-friendly pub Sydney locals love. **What to Bring** A hat and sunscreen if you’re sitting outside. A light jacket for breezy days near the water. A change of clothes for the kids—there’s always a splash or two. Snacks for pre-meal grazing if hunger strikes early. **Best Age Range** Perfect for toddlers through to primary-aged kids. The outdoor space and play zone make it ideal for 2–10 year olds. **Good to Know** No need to book unless you’re bringing a large group. Parking is available on Kalinya Street or nearby residential streets. Weekday afternoons are quieter than weekends. The kids’ menu includes favourites like chicken tenders and mini burgers. **Nearby** The playground at Bungan Beach Reserve in Mona Vale, Sydney. The Newport Surf Club for fish and chips with a view. **Tips From Other Parents** Grab the early dinner slot—by 6pm it’s buzzing with families. Bring a ball or frisbee for extra playtime after eating. Check their Facebook page for kids’ activity nights or themed events.
