Cronulla, derived from an Aboriginal word kurranulla meaning ‘place of pink seashells’, is located on the Bate Bay coastline in Sydney’s south. It is the only Sydney beach that can be reached by train, meaning you can visit without the headache of finding a car park.

Cronulla Beach is the only beach patrolled all year round by Sutherland Shire Council’s professional lifeguards together with volunteer lifesavers from Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club. Or you can swim at the Cronulla Rock Pools, located between the North and South Cronulla beaches.

For a top day out at the beach, Cronulla has all the right ingredients – fish and chips, ice-cream and gelato, cool surf shops for beach supplies and accommodation.

You can expect very pleasant temperatures during the day in October. The average maximum temperature lies around 21 degrees celcius. The average evening temperature lies around 15 degrees celcius overnight. Rainfall is moderate with around 11 rainy days in October.

Rydges Cronulla Beachside have offered APAT members and those attending the convention in October 2024 (23rd -26th ) an excellent discounted room rate.
