Salmon Haul Reserve is a great little spot to get away from the crowds at Cronulla, it's never really too packed so always a good spot to sit get a tan and go for a swim. The parking is a bit hard, but you will find a spot. The walk is not very long at all though it is very hilly with a lot of stairs so just keep in that mind if you have any medical conditions or anything else that could get you into trouble with the stairs and hills. Amazing place to go for sunrises and sunsets, I have posted some photos of the sun set which are beautiful. Enjoy 🌅🏖️

Great place for sightseeing. Even though it's only 500metres in length there's plenty to take in. Best visited late afternoon

One of the best places to relax and swim in Cronulla. Perfect spot for snorkeling as well with very safe entry points to the water. Visibility can be tricky but always fish to see in the marine reserve
