Directions

The only beach in Sydney directly accessible by train, Cronulla is a long, wide stretch of sand in the Sutherland Shire with a proud surf culture and a laid-back coastal town feel. Multiple beach sections cater to swimmers, surfers, and families, and the nearby Cronulla strip has solid cafes and fish and chips. It's a long trip from the CBD but the train ride is easy and the beach rewards the journey.
