Shark Beach is situated on one end of Neilson Park in Vaucluse and faces North towards North Head in Manly. Access requires a walk through the park which is lined with beautiful, big shady trees and a huge grassy area that's perfect for picnics. Shark Beach has an enclosed swimming area, which is great for safety and makes it very child friendly. The beach is backed by a concrete sidewalk with a cafe close by, picnic benches and toilets.
