Shelly Park is a large park adjacent to the Esplanade Walkway on the Cronulla Peninsula. This is a fantastic park to come to for a BBQ in Cronulla. It’s very wheelchair friendly with the rock pool having a ramp to push the chair into the water which is fantastic. We have taken advantage of this many a time. There’s quite a bit of street parking but this can fill very quickly as this park is so popular. The BBQ, chairs and tables are first come, first served. The toilet amenities are really good and there’s a wonderful walking track along the water. There’s very good shower/changing room facilities for people after swimming on the beach or the pool. There’s also a very good fenced children’s playground, complete with a swing for wheelchairs. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash and are prohibited within 10 metres of the fenced playground. There is a kiosk and a restaurant across the road. We use this park a lot because it’s soo convenient. We love it. Thumbs Up!! 😊😊👍👍
This is seriously a great ocean pool. Perhaps my second go-to after Mahon Pool. I like that it has a lovely grass area to sit and relax. Good little coffee shop a short distance away too. Always difficult to find parking being Cronulla but the pool is worth a visit.
So beautiful here. We have visited every major beach and park on the Sydney coastline over the years. This one at South Cronulla rates as the best. Food and shops nearby. Public amenities. A rock pool for swimming. Seals, whales and dolphins visit here.
Beautiful place to walk, explore, or just sit and chill out.
Great park the shelly beach pool is clean and the atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend the beach yoga if you are visiting the area! 🌸
