Gunnamatta Park is a sloping 5 ha reserve located in the northeastern corner of the bay. Beach PH 2 commences 500 m south of the park and continues along the base of the steep house-covered shoreline and along the southern half of the park to the southern pool boundary. The beach is wedged between backing seawalls and the tidal sand flats that extend 100 m into the bay, with boats moored off the flats. The sandy shoreline is dynamic, varying in width and presence over time. It can only be accessed in the south via Darook Park and from Gunnamatta Park in the north. The Gunnamatta pool is a tidal pool that encloses the northern 250 m of the beach (PH 3). The beach narrows along the pool shore, where it is backed by a seawall, then widens into the northern corner. The pool is the focus of the backing park, with a large pavilion located behind the centre of the beach (Fig. 4.264), and a jetty forming the southern pool boundary. This is a popular location only 150 m from Cronulla railway station, with street parking also available on Nicholson Parade. The ferry wharf for Bundeena is located immediately north of the beach. read more
