Cronulla Beach, Sandy beach in Sutherland Shire, Australia.
Cronulla Beach is a 200-meter stretch of sand on Bate Bay with white sand bordered by rocky outcrops and a grassy reserve behind. Facilities include showers, restrooms, picnic tables, and a Mobi Mat service for wheelchair accessibility.
The Darug people inhabited this area long before European settlers arrived. The beach later developed as a destination, and the Surf Life Saving Club was established in 1907 to manage water safety.
The name comes from an Indigenous word referring to pink seashells once found here. Today, the Surf Life Saving Club hosts regular beach volleyball tournaments and community events that draw locals year-round.
