1. Kareena Park

Kareena Park itself seems to be the heavily forested area between Laguna St and the water. There is a paved path through here and some rougher paths that get close to the water. However, the jewel of this area is the E.G. Waterhouse National Camelia Gardens - enter from the car parks on President Ave or Kareena Rd. These gardens are an amazing find in the suburbs. A very dense botanic gardens-style collection of plants and flowers with quiet paths winding through them and streams rushing down the hill to the duck pond - and there were huge numbers of ducks all over the park. There are a few lawns for picnics and a rose garden, plus a teahouse and a couple of playgrounds (but no dogs or ball games allowed). This is a stunning council-run garden and a must-see if you happen to be in this part of town. Pity it closes at 4pm.
2. Cronulla Beach Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 466 reviews
The Cronulla Beach Walk follows more than four kilometres of the Shire’s coastline south from Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club to Bass and Flinders Point, where the Hacking River meets the Tasman Sea. The pathway passes stunning beaches, child-friendly rock pools, parks, playgrounds, cafes and period houses interspersed with lavish new homes and apartments overlooking the water. In the morning you’ll see locals out for a run or walk with friends, and swimmers striking out to the yacht buoy or Shark Island. In summer, watch nippers and lifesavers train and enjoy a dip at one of the many beaches along the walk. Everyone is out, from new mums with prams, families and kids on scooters to the stalwarts of Cronulla on their way to the RSL for lunch or a game of bowls. The footsteps on this walk have echoed since the early 1900s when Cronulla Beach was the place for Sydneysiders to holiday, and it remains a popular and social walk.

We walked from Elouera Beach to Bass and Flinders. Lovely walk, take your swimmers and stop to swim in the rock pools along the way at Cronulla Beach, Shelly Beach and Oak Park.

This provided beauty and peace for trip with a dear friend (aged 96) who managed short walks and we were all exhilarated by the gardens. The tea house complemented the gardens and provided caring service and delicious food choices.

Wonderful place to go whale watching (there is a viewing platform) or just enjoy the view. Fantastic place to take photos with natural bush land surrounding the walkways and great sandstone clifftops.

My favourite beach in Sydney, ideal for swimming and coast walking. Compare to Bondi, it is less populated but more beautiful and tranquil

Tucked away at the back of some industrial buildings in Kirrawee, there is this mini-brewery. It is a great place to chill out on a friday afternoon after work and enjoy some different beers , order some food from the foodtruck outside and go-home at 7.30 (closing time) a happy person.
8. Jibbon Beach

Lovely protected beach (except if a strong westerly is blowing). Gentle surf, and perfect for swimming. Along the beach to the east will take you to the Aboriginal rock engravings which are amazing, and to Little Jibbon Beach which is a small nudist beach close to the track. If you have time it's definitely worth walking the Jibbon Loop Trail.
