Anarose Bay (/ˈænəroʊz/) is a suburb of Wentworth in the Borough of Newhaven. It sits on the foreshore of Marshall Bay and the northern bank of Crecimento Creek.
Anarose Bay is a culturally diverse suburb consisting mostly of medium density residential and commercial areas. It is a popular destination for tourists and backpackers due to its beach (the second-largest in the Inner West after Ventura Beach), street food stalls, thriving nightlife, and proximity to both the bohemian neighbourhoods of Outram and Ventura, and the busy commercial centre of Pariwana.
==History==
Anarose Bay draws its name from the adjacent bay of the same name, which was named after Anna Rose Watson, the wife of 18th century landowner William Watson. The spelling was corrupted over time due to typographic errors.
The modern suburb first developed in the late 19th century, initially as a fishing village until the arrival of electric trams in the 1910s. The area was subdivided around the same time, with most dwellings built as terrace houses. Anarose Bay gained a working class character, particularly after World War II as the low rents and house prices attracted newly arrived European migrants.
From the 1970s onwards, many major commercial and industrial sites in the area moved out to suburbs farther from the city centre, and Anarose Bay began to attract university students, causing another shift in demographics. The suburb became a centre for young people with the development of cafés, pubs and restaurants, and gained a reputation as a bohemian centre, albeit not to the extent of neighbouring Outram.
==Landmarks==
Anarose Bay's main commercial strip lies along Miraflores Avenue, a major north-south thoroughfare in the Inner West. A majority of the suburb's shops, night clubs and pubs are located along this stretch of road. Several well-known Wentworth night clubs, including Panda and Club 88, are located in the suburb. The commercial area extends westward along Princes Street in the suburb's south, housing the Anarose Bay Workers' Club and a number of multicultural restaurants. Princes Street is the site of the fortnightly Anarose Bay Night Market.
