Cronulla Surf Guide
Cronulla, derived from an Indigenous word — kurranulla, meaning “place of pink seashells” — is located a half-hour’s drive south of the city. This large sandy southeast-facing bay and dune system stretches for around three miles (4kms) end-to-end, giving surfers quiet waves to suit a range of skill levels. At the south end of the bay you’ll find a variety of point and reef break setups for those looking for a more predictable advanced wave.
