The name Cronulla is derived from the Aboriginal word kurranulla, meaning 'place of pink seashells'. The beachfront suffered from severe erosion due to stormy weather in the past, which posed a threat to the properties and infrastructure. In response, sea walls were constructed on both sides of North Cronulla Beach in 1974. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque views
