It's a beautiful park, nice and quiet. It was perfect on the day we went when it was 36°. The water was so cold and refreshing and the rockpool is great for a swim to avoid the waves. Not too far from Cronulla and is significantly quieter so you can actually get a park.

It is my first time here and I can assure you guys that it is a great place for everyone one including children . The ocean view is spectacular . You can have nice and safe swim at the rock pool that filled with ocean water everytime a wave comes which make the water very clear and clean. The park have a walking path alongside the beach. There is a playground for kids, toilets, ovens ,and seats around the park. You can fish off the rocks but be VERY careful as it may be very dangerous and slippery when wet. I really recommend this place and I did enjoy my day here.

Nice park, great coastal walking path, amenities, Cafe across the road, perfect early morning .

Great place for anytime of the day. Great for sunrise and an evening swim. Great views and atmosphere.

Lovely family park perfect for gatherings and children's parties. Many memories made over the years and a great spot with the corner shop to get hot chips and ice creams. Shelly pool is such a vibe many of the locals do laps at sunrise and are the source of some great wholesome convos and the nuns pool rock beach is also a nice spot for a shallow dip.

Beautiful park with BBQs and picnic tables and children's playground.

One of my favorite places for a beach walk. Beautiful views along the cliff coast on a rating can make you forget about everyday life.

An excellent park located right on the water. Toilets, park benches, BBQ facilities, water fountains, showers and plenty of grass. Some shade from the trees. Swimming available at the ocean pool. Locals built the initial pool in the early 1900s, but it only became a formalised ocean baths when the walls were put in under the Unemployment Benefit Scheme in the 1930s. Minimal rolling waves at this beach. Rocks on the shoreline - it’s not your normal “beach.” You can enter the water - but there are rocks at the shoreline. A shoreline walking track passes through the park. The water located to the south of the ocean pool is used by divers to enter the water.

Lovely setting with various shady spots to have a picnic. Parking is limited in busy periods and shops are not nearby, so bring all supplies with you.

Shelly Park is a great park. There is a large play equipment set for those with young ones, a large grassed area for cricket, sheltered areas for lunch, a large ocean pool, toilets and changerooms. There's also a Cafe across the road, and you can walk up and down the coastline along the Cronulla esplanade. A great spot.

Great place for families to gather and relax together. Right on the water but with plenty of grass area and tables to make it comfortable. Pet friendly too, as long as they're on a leash. Worth the effort.

Nice park with a children's playground, plenty of natural grass, toilet facilities and a small sandy beach. A bit of a slope towards the beach and parking is limited so come early ir catch a train to Cronulla station. A walking seaside track is a must to do.

Great fenced playground for kids at Shelley Park for all ages. Especially toddlers. Big grass area for games. Flat sand area for lil ones by the rock pool. toilets. Plenty bins and bbq area. street parking avail.

Bring your water shoes for the kids, lots of "sea glass" and shells here. Calm water, beautiful scenery, love the little pool area. There's a playground near by as well. And a little walk you can do over looking the ocean - beautiful! There are washrooms nearby as well.

Really a nice park to go to. Nice picnic tables and benches, if you are early enough. Decent takeaways nearby. There is also a cummunal BBQ if you want to do your own. Parking is a bit "tight", but that is understandable - it's a very popular place.

Great beach with something for everyone, including a large beach rock pool where you can sit in the shallows with young children or swim out to the far end to catch a wave splashing over the wall. Room on sand and rocks to set up, or if you prefer grass, the park is right behind the pavilion with views down to the water.

Nice small beach. Great spot to dive. Also has a rock pool and amenities close by. Good spot for family and a BBQ. Also a nice scenic walk to Cronulla Beach or the other way.

Big seaside park facing Shelly Beach. Large shaded playground. Plenty of shade under mature Norfolk Pines. Easy access to coastal pathway for strolling or jogging - Bicycles not allowed on pathway. Very crowded on weekends and public holidays. Street parking available but you have to be early on busy days.

Really great place to swim or have a picnic. With a good cafe near by and toilet facilities.

Brought back so many memories latest visit as I used to frequent this little beach so much growing up. So many more cafes available now and that take away shop on the corner still going strong with an awesome face lift. The rock pool and the small sandy beaches on both sides remain in good shape. The grassy hills with an awesome view of the ocean. The massive park with kids playground and bbq areas. The toilet and shower facility still standing and in good shape. The walkway which goes all the way to Cronulla beach. There is so much more and I highly recommend all families and partners to spend a day on a weekend with good weather and catch the sunset.

A lovely little spot and so much quieter than Cronulla

Shelly Park ,beach & baths is a Fantastic place to go and relax. Not so packed as the other beaches. Very wheelchair friendly from the car parking to the baths stairs .The people there on the day were helpful and accommodating. It was my wife & first time back to a beach since her stroke. We are both looking forward to our next visit and I'm confident that we will become regulars to shell Park.😉👍🏻☝️

My earlist memories as a child is my parents taking me over the weekends to the ocean pool at Shelley Beach. Now many years later as an adult I'm still drawn to Shelley Beach, sitting in a quiet spot and watching the majesty of the ocean breaking upon the sand and deeply breathing in the salty air. A beautiful part of the world.

Easy access and a nice fenced park for the small people. A few covered bbq areas also. The ocean pool is usually clear and has a nice sandy bottom with both a general beach area as well as man made ramp and stairs with rails for easy entry. The worst bit is trying to find parking. Plenty of spots but always taken so be prepared for a few minutes walk from a side street, to get to it.

Nice rock pool with a little beach. Access to the open water on either side. Toilets/ change rooms built before antiquity but function well and add to the general vibe. It's got a couple of out door showers as well. Nice park with a playground and a couple of seated shelters in the vicinity. It's a steep slope from the top to the rock pool and beach, so best for able bodies.

Great place for a visit. Good park, rocky beach, theres pool if you want to swim. Barbeque.. kids play ground could have been better though.

Anywhere along the Cronulla beachside is lovely if you can find parking. The water is clean and inviting and the play area great for kids. The toilets at Shelley really need a makeover though.

Great place for kids - Park, pool and nice scenic view.

Lovely spot for a picnic or a BBQ , the Rockpool is very popular and great for a early morning swim.

Beautiful and calm spot with BBQ access, rockpool and amenities. Gorgeous view with walks along the coast. Can fly drones (although always cross check restrictions with updated app; signboards). Animal friendly. Have kids playing area.

Easy to access with parking close by. I went on a weekday so it wasn't too busy

One of my go to beaches. Bit of grass area Infront of the beach. Busy but not too crowded.

A great spot for the family to relax and play. A great l, fenced off playground will keep the kids busy if the beach and surf ain't there thing. Lots of lawn space to throw a picnic blanket down on and the family friendly beach is close by

Excellent for families. With a park, large grass area, friendly company and amenities this is a great place to spend a day relaxing.

Beautiful spot, perfect for a family or group of people. Play ground , open grass areas , restrooms and showers close by as well as plenty of shade and easy access to the rock pool and beach area plenty of room to put up a tent for that extra bit of shade, locals are friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are close at hand, I would recommend getting there early to try to get a parking spot but there are plenty of backstreets to park on within walking distance

Good walk by the shore , when kids so F

Nice view and there is toilets there and a nice park for picnics

It’s good for everybody but it’s nice for the young ones that wants to be more independent, have fun and to be safe bc it’s close to the park and to the main roads. It’s perfect for couples too!!!!

Great playground for kids. Shelly beach is also nearby.

Met at Shelly park to celebrate my grandsons 1st birthday..great place for family to meet for the day.good view,plenty of room.good playground for the tin lids.( kids)..amenities close by..

One of Sydney's best beaches, beautiful view, wow 👌

One of my all time, long term fav places for weekdays in summer. Lovely shady park on beach, great ocean swim pool for laps and also a great safe ocean pool for small children.

Great spot for a picnic or a swim. Public toilets/ changerooms are functional but needing a little love. Plenty of shade, water and bbqs. Great play equipment for the kids

Way too busy. People will almost piles up on top of each other to get a space on the grass The pool was absolutely packed which was terrible. Parking was an absolute nightmare and it's very hard for somebody with a disability to get there from the on street parking area. Definitely not a place I would recommend.

Great for kids.

very good plaes

Good place for family picnic

It's convenient has parking, a gated play area for kids, rock pool and shower toilet all near each other

Amazing place! Must go!

Nice Park

Beautiful part of the world

Love the fresh air

Good place for after hours BBQ.

Serene

Had picnic there with church members, great family park.

Great place to go hike and camp. Beautiful views from Half Dome, it's definitely worth hiking up there. Clean, well-maintained trails and you could just feel nature walking with you the whole way. Lots of squirrels saying hi along the way. The hike to Half Dome was eight hours to and back. Along the way, you can see three waterfalls, which are breathtaking and beautiful. The trails gradually increase in elevation. Challenging hike for those who aren't physically fit. The waterfalls you are able to just go in, but sometimes can be slippery on the rocks so do be careful. Dogs are allowed here so don't be afraid to bring your pup! Camping is a recommendation since it's a good price but you need a reservation because of how packed it could get. A very popular place to go. Excellent nature!

Beautiful spot to relax watching the waves and surfing out at Shark Island

Nice place . Ocean pool picnic area showers and change rooms. Good for family

Nice shady park overlooking the sea shore. Ocean pool, playground and basic toilet and change area.

Great place for families to swim in the ocean pool!

Lovely local spot for families with enclosed pool and bbq areas and playground close by, a must visit

A great park by the beach with a kids playground.

Great park in South Cronulla. Has an awesome pool and council provided BBQs located on the esplanade can go for a walk either South or north. Can grab awesome take away food from nuns pool. That has an app which lets you order take away or have it delivered to you in the park

A nice beach with nice view but a bit boring for kids since there is only small playground

Such a great park! Beautiful setting by the beach. Extensive playground. Open green space for ball games. Away from the touristy areas of Cronulla.

Had a great time and it was a very scenic walk
