Cronulla is the only Sydney beach located on a train line and has a large amount of free parking along the foreshore. This makes it one of the most accessible of Sydney beaches.
By train
There is a direct CityRail (http://www.cityrail.info) train service from Sydney City to Cronulla. The train leaves at least every 30 minutes and the trip takes around 55 minutes. If coming from Sydney Airport take the train from the airport to Wolli Creek and change to a Cronulla bound train.
By car
It is a 45 minute drive by car from Sydney City centre, or 30 minutes from Sydney Airport. Continue to drive south past the airport along Botany Bay and continue to follow the signposted route to Cronulla. There is no charge for parking at the Cronulla beaches or anywhere in Cronulla. Parking time limits do apply in places so check before you leave you car because parking inspectors are quite prominent in the area.
By bike
The cycle route from Homebush Bay to Kurnell passes near to Cronulla. It is a pleasant and largely off-road cycle from Botany Bay to the northern Cronulla beaches. From the cycleway along Captain Cook Drive, follow Elouera Road into Cronulla. There are some cycle facilities on this road. If you want a quieter route, or if you are in a hurry to get to the beach, turn first left off Elouera Rd, and follow the beach into Cronulla, or stop for a dip at Wanda.
