Garie Beach and the Royal National Park
This stretch of coastline includes stunning scenery, great walks and a variety of swimming opportunities. If you're looking for a sheltered spot, you can go past Wattamolla, with its lagoon, waterfall and beach. But if surf is more your scene, head towards Garie Beach. Both have toilets, picnic facilities and kiosks.
The clifftop heathlands of this area are a picture of stark, windswept beauty. You can explore them on the Coast Track and Curra Moors Track. Expect wildflowers around August and September, and keep an eye on the ocean between May and August - you might catch a glimpse of a migrating whale!
Garie Beach is a part of Royal National Park. As such you can access it on a day trip from Sydney through the National Park south of Cronulla and north of Woollongong. (Park entry fee is around A$10.00.) It's a beautiful site and has many easy to difficult walking tracks.
