Description

South Cronulla Beach is a popular travel destination located on the Bate Bay coastline in Sydney's south, Australia.

Cronulla is a word derived from the Aboriginal language, with kurranulla meaning 'place of pink seashells'. This beach is the only Sydney beach that can be reached by train, making it easily accessible without the headache of finding a car park.

Cronulla Beach is the only beach patrolled all year round by Sutherland Shire Council's professional lifeguards together with volunteer lifesavers from Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club. Visitors can enjoy swimming, surfing, and sunbathing on this patrolled beach. This beach is popular with surfers, bodyboarders, kitesurfers, and swimmers.

The Cronulla Pavilion and Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club are two prominent buildings located close to the sand, along with a cafe and restaurant. Visitors can relax behind the beach in a large grassed area with plenty of shade and a playground. The Cronulla Rock Pools are also located between Cronulla Beach and North Cronulla Beach.

South Cronulla Beach is an ideal starting point for the scenic 4km Cronulla Beach Walk. The walk takes visitors along the esplanade, connecting Cronulla Beach with North Cronulla Beach and Wanda Beach. For visitors keen on art, the Hazelhurst Arts Centre in nearby Gymea or the Walk the Walls Trail, with spectacular street art, are a must-visit.

The best time to visit South Cronulla Beach is during the summer months of December to February when the weather is warm and sunny newline.
