About this place
What to expect
Darook Park is a much‑loved waterfront park located on the shores of Gunnamatta Bay in Cronulla. With its open grassy spaces and uninterrupted bay views, it's the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. It is particularly good for families seeking a sheltered swim away from ocean waves. Popular with families, walkers and locals, the park offers a calm alternative to the nearby surf beaches. Watch boats glide across the bay, enjoy a picnic under the trees or simply lay out a towel and soak up the sunshine. Darook Beach is not patrolled by lifeguards. Dogs are not permitted on the beach. Care should be taken to avoid treading on stingrays in shallow water. Shuffle your feet as you enter the water to scare them away.
