Parsley Bay Reserve

Parsley Bay Reserve is a sheltered harbourside park and beach in Vaucluse, within the Woollahra local government area of eastern Sydney, New South Wales. Set at the mouth of a small creek on Sydney Harbour, it features a netted swimming area, sandy beach, historic footbridge, shaded picnic grounds and bushland walking tracks. Managed by Woollahra Municipal Council, it is valued for family swimming, picnics and nature appreciation close to the city centre.

Visitors can expect a small, sheltered harbour beach with a netted swimming enclosure, calm water and sandy foreshore backed by a grassy reserve and bushland gully. The reserve includes shaded picnic areas, barbecues, a children's playground, a historic suspension footbridge over the creek, and walking tracks through remnant bushland. A kiosk operates near the beach, and the setting is enclosed by headlands, offering calm conditions for swimming and relaxed harbourside recreation.
