Such a beautiful beach! Just an easy walk around from South Broulee Beach. Closer to the Broulee Island Nature Reserve, Bay access is a bit calmer and it is a very pleasant area to go for a swim. If you are with a family and you need a more sheltered area, this Bay is outstanding. There is also an access path the Broulee Beach. This is also another relatively sheltered swimming area. Getting to this Bay may involve going for a small bush walk, as there is no car park directly adjacent to the Bay.

I love shark bay. Do not get thrown off by the name. It’s beautiful, tranquil and divine. I love swimming laps in the bay. It’s also beautiful for a snorkel. Dad foils the break a little further out too. It’s FUN for everyone ⭐️🤫🤌

One of the favourites. Good shower & toilet facilities. Beautiful beach, good waves for the board riders, calm enough for the little ones. Fun to walk along the rocks. Parking is a little limited but you'll get one if you don't mind a bit of a wait or walk.

Great sheltered Cove for little kids and when the wind is a northerly making Broulee Beach less friendly. The bay sits in the lee of Broulee Island which is a marine park. Fantastic snorkelling right off the rocks with garden-like beds of coloured sea grass and kelp, and increasing fish life. As you head around the rocks to the seaward side, you are more likely to see the local wobegone sharks.

Absolutely gorgeous beach. Fairly quiet and lovely for a walk. at low tide you can walk onto Broulee island and see rock pools and pebbles galore.
