"Shark Bay/Nielsen Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Nielsen Park Tip by leffe3

Nielsen Park, Sydney: 3 reviews and 9 photos

Yet another of the spectacular Sydney Harbour beaches, Shark Bay belies its name as it has a shark net to ensure safe swimming. It's a fairly small beach and is part of the bushy Nielsen Park in the exclusive Vaucluse suburb, a few minutes walk from Vaucluse House.

The attraction is that it doesn't get too busy (limited parking and only a couple of buses), clean clean waters, plenty of shade and grass offered by the parkland, toilets, a good-quality licensed cafe which offers sandwiches and pies through to full meals, toilets.

Directions: Bus #325 from Circular Quay (stops outside gates of Vaucluse House - a few minutes walk to the park/beach)

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
