'''Cronulla''' is a [[suburb]] of [[Sydney]], in the state of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. Boasting numerous surf beaches and swimming spots, the suburb attracts both tourists and [[Greater Western Sydney|Greater Sydney]] residents.

Cronulla is on a [[peninsula]] framed by [[Botany Bay]] to the north, [[Bate Bay]] to the east, [[Port Hacking]] to the south, and [[Gunnamatta Bay]] to the west. The neighbouring suburb of [[Woolooware, New South Wales|Woolooware]] lies to the west of Cronulla, and [[Burraneer, New South Wales|Burraneer]] lies to the southwest. The [[Kurnell]] [[Cronulla sand dunes, Kurnell Peninsula|peninsula]], the site of the first landfall on the eastern coastline made by Captain [[James Cook]] in 1770, is reached by driving northeast out of Cronulla on Captain Cook Drive.
