Cronulla
Must do
Sydney by the sea, Cronulla Beach
Learn to surf with accredited surf schools at one of the best surfing beaches in Sydney. You can also try snorkelling and scuba diving, either in Botany Bay, Port Hacking or straight into the ocean. Watch out for humpback whales passing by Cape Solander on the Kurnell Peninsula from May to November.
About Cronulla
On the coastline around Cronulla, there are plenty of things to do from surfing and fishing, to hiking, whale-watching or just lazing on uncrowded beaches. Cronulla Beach is one of the longest Sydney beaches with a sparkling outdoor cafe scene, although to the locals Cronulla is four beaches not just one. Just south of Cronulla is the peaceful village of Bundeena, a ferry ride across Port Hacking River.
While Cronulla Beach is a major highlight of the area, nearby are two of Sydney’s best national parks for bushwalking - Royal National Park and Heathcote National Park. In the “Royal”, you can also go rowing, ocean fishing and surfing.
