Historic Tathra Wharf  built for large boats transporting cattle & pigs to Sydney in the late 1800's. Recently 4 lives were lost in this bay area - a 28 year old father and his 2 sons were fishing on the wharf when the pram rolled over and he dived in to save the boys and all drowned and then a local woman swimming with her husband and other club members was taken by a shark in this bay.



The shed at the Tathra Wharf was converted into Café/Restaurant & Art Gallery using all the old beams boat material where possible. This wharf leads up to a Memorial Garden that was started by a local when she realised that Tathra didn't have a cemetery so the garden walk is lined with plaques remembering the locals.
The shed has large loading doors that open wide and become the most amazing picture windows overlooking the bay area. You can also see Frankie J Holden's caravan park lining the beach opposite.
