Wanda Beach in Cronulla is perfect if you’re looking for a stunning beach to relax on. With crystal-clear water and white sand, it’s no wonder this beach is a favourite spot for locals and tourists alike. Pack your swimsuit and sunscreen, and enjoy a day of sun and surf at Wanda Beach!

With the northernmost of the Cronulla beaches, Wanda Beach is a beautiful spot for those looking for somewhere to relax and catch up with friends.

Wanda beach attracts residents and tourists due to its proximity to public transport and amenities.

However this larger crowd comes with a few shortcomings: if you’re looking for some space on Wanda, it’ll be hard work finding it!

The lack of shelter means that the sunbakers are out in full force all summer long. There’s also very little sand or grassy areas so that it can get overcrowded during peak hours.

If you would rather have your patch of sand, though, Wanda is perfect for catching up with friends & family from out of town.

There’s also a large grassy area which is excellent for a picnic or cricket game.

Wanda might not be your best bet; it’s often crowded, and few parking spots are available. During summer (peak hour), it can get hectic, but it makes for an incredibly relaxing day by the beach if you go during off-peak hours. Alternatively, you can try the Cronulla Beach Walk, which is perfect for people who want to get a taste of Sydney’s most famous beach without the crowds.

Above the beach is Don Lucas Reserve, a unique and fantastic grassed open area that offers an extensive range of activities for all ages. There’s everything from fitness tracks to covered adventure playgrounds, picnic facilities, and half basketball courts with exercise equipment.

The 1.5 km sandy beach is patrolled from November to April by professional lifeguards and volunteer lifesavers from Wanda Surf Club. Be mindful of rips and always swim between red flag for general swimming or yellow if you’re looking for a safer spot that’s less crowded.

The deep rips and bars of the ocean make for some excellent beach breaks that are popular among surfers.

There’s no better place to be than at Wanda Beach in Cronulla. It’s one of Sydney’s most popular beaches for a good reason – the water is crystal clear, the sand is white and soft, and there are plenty of great places to relax and catch some sun. 

For those passionate about photography, you might want to be mesmerised by the beauty of the ocean wave imagery. Try visiting the Cronulla Seawater Gallery.

Whether you’re looking for a day out with the family or need to find some solitude, Wanda Beach Cronulla has it all. It is close enough that people can make an easy drive here from Sydney and enjoy this stunning beachside location without having to fly halfway around the world. The kids will love playing in the sand while parents relax on one of the many picnic tables scattered throughout this area. There are also plenty of shops nearby if you want to grab something before heading home after your visit too!
