Elouera Beach, Coastal beach in Cronulla, Australia
Elouera Beach is a sandy beach on Bate Bay in Cronulla, a coastal suburb in the south of Sydney, New South Wales. It sits between Cronulla Beach to the north and South Cronulla Beach to the south, receiving open ocean swells that make it popular with swimmers and surfers.
The Elouera Surf Lifesaving Club was established in 1966, and its clubhouse was officially opened on 8 June 1967. At that opening, the club's first surf boat, Charlotte Breen, donated by local businessman Tom Breen, was christened and launched. The Elouera "Sharks" counted 375 members in their first season.

Elouera is a patrolled beach on Bate Bay, and the Elouera Surf Lifesaving Club, founded in 1966, has watched over it since its clubhouse opened on 8 June 1967. The beach lies in Cronulla, in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, about 21 km south of the city centre. June is the wettest month, averaging 232 mm of rain, so check conditions before setting out.
A short section of shoreline between Elouera and the beach to its north is known locally as The Wall, a name most visitors never hear. This curve in the coast changes how the water moves, creating different wave conditions on either side of it.
