Shark Beach and Steele Point.
Looking north-east from Shark Beach to the western side of Vaucluse Point.
From Shark Beach, with Middle Head and Dobroyd Head across the water.
The gables of gothic Greycliffe House, built 1851.
Shark Beach and Steele Point from the steps leading up to Vaucluse Point.
Shark Beach, where name is no deterrent.
On west side of Vaucluse Point (Shakespeare Point?), looking across Shark Bay to Shark Beach and Steele Point.
Bottle and Glass Rocks.
Bottle and Glass Rocks - yes, after a rowdy party. Apparently they used to resemble a bottle with broken glass around it until ships and gun batteries at Bradleys Head used the rocks for target practice. As you do. Laings Point in the middle distance, with North Head beyond.
Looking east to Point Seymour and that deco house.
Looking south-east to Vaucluse Bay Front Light, at 80 Wentworth Road, designed by architect Maurice Festu. It's one of a pair of leadlight towers; the other is at 12 Wentworth Road. Both carry red lanterns which, when lined up, give a bearing on the Eastern Channel. You can also see the tip of Macquarie Lighthouse in the top right of the photo.

An ample and spacious point with lots of good spots for private picnicking. Plus it’s handy to the beach at Nielson Park.

See this old photo looking south-west from Vaucluse Point… appears to have once been called Shakespeare Point (at least on its western edge) but there’s no record of that name now.
