Bass Point Reserve, Heritage coastal site in Shellharbour, Australia.

Bass Point Reserve spans 72 hectares of coastal land with littoral rainforest areas and diverse marine ecosystems near Shellharbour Village.

Archaeological findings reveal that Aboriginal inhabitants established camps at Bass Point over 20,000 years ago, preceding the construction of Egyptian pyramids.

The Elouera people maintained deep connections to this land, gathering seafood and wildlife while leaving evidence through shell middens along the coastline.

The reserve provides facilities including parking areas, picnic spots, and public restrooms, with free entry for visitors throughout the year.

In 1943, four Australian soldiers lost their lives attempting to rescue the crew of an American merchant ship that crashed into the rocks during a storm.
