Cronulla

Surf Guide

Sydney's southern most suburb and home, in 2005, to Australia's first genuine race riot. Whatever your politics, don't go round talking up the achievements of Osama Bin Laden or the superiority of Islam to Western culture. Cronulla has a spectacular variety of world-class reefs (Voodoo, Shark Island are just two of the better known waves) plus miles of beachbreaks. Superb.
