The first baths were built on this spot in 1905 and it has recently gone under a $2 million facelift to upgrade the facilities that includes Australia's first all-ability water access ramp.
Harbor baths can be found all over Sydney and the first one in Watsons Bay is located between Watsons Bay and Camp Cove, and was known as the 'Bogie Hole'. It was cut out of the rock by two Watsons Bay men, Jack Graham and Reg Norton around 1888 and proved a popular swimming spot. Evidence of the bathing sheds no longer exists, however the excavated pool is still visible and is in use during the swimming season.
