A narrow reserve adjacent to the western edge of Woolooware Bay, providing important habitat for an assemblage of migratory shorebirds, Taren Point Shorebird Reserve is a narrow reserve adjacent to the western edge of Woolooware Bay, accessible from Woodlands Road or Smith Street in Taren Point. Dogs must be kept on leash in the reserve.
The sandy shoals adjacent to the reserve are habitat for an assemblage of migratory shorebirds known as the Taren Point Shorebird Community, an endangered ecological community. The reserve provides opportunity for walking, cycling and passive recreation while minimising impacts to, and creating awareness of, the shorebirds utilising the adjacent sandy shoals.
Due to the sensitive nature of the area, dogs are prohibited, even on leash, along the foreshore. Please be mindful of shorebirds in the area and avoid disturbance to their habitat. The Taren Point shorebird foreshore area can be viewed here.
An amenities block, bubbler and bike racks are located south of the reserve at Woolooware Bay Shared Pathway. The amenities block has a washbasin and four toilets (male, female, unisex and accessible/family).
