Nielsen Park
-
Nielsen Park makes its way from winding Vaucluse Road down to Shark Bay, so named for the sharks caught here in the days before shark nets. In the centre of the park is the Mt Trefle Walk, and near the beach are changing pavilions, a great kiosk, Greycliffe House and a memorial to the Harbour Foreshore Vigilance Committee (see Harbourside Walks). The Hermitage Foreshore Walk starts west of Shark Beach, and offers some of the best views of Sydney as it meanders along the shoreline back to Rose Bay via Hermit Point. Don’t forget to carry your swimming gear.
