It was a women’s convalescent home in the early 20th century and later an aged care. Now, people watch an unforgettable sunset by the sea here.

Coastal 500-m walk, usually with a picturesque view at any time of the day.
Lawrence Pogue Beach
A smaller beach than most might expect.
Short walking track from Shark Beach to Vaucluse town centre.
Greycliffe Gardens
A historic building by the harbour. While now it may be used as an event centre, tourists come here, often to see the outside.
Another beach, where you could take photos just like the postcards.
Known for a couple of shark attacks nearby? Nope, that's Shark Island. The name Shark Beach comes from the name of Shark Bay, known for a lot of sharks. However, Shark Beach is safe from sharks, however, it's best to not go too far out, swim or kayak. During the summer months, a net is put around the beach, so sharks do not come in the swimming area.
