The La Perouse peninsula is the northern headland of Botany Bay. La Perouse Tower, which stands in the Botany Bay National Park, was the oldest building in the area. It is a sandstone tower constructed in 1820-22 as part of the accommodation for a small guard of soldiers that were stationed here to prevent smugglers from entering Botany Bay. The watchtower stayed in use until 1904.
