Great place for sightseeing. Even though it's only 500metres in length there's plenty to take in. Best visited late afternoon

(3.5 stars) Salmon Haul is the Gordons Bay of the south. You’d never know it was here, unless you looked it up on maps, as the entrance is a nondescript path leading down between the fancy houses of this quiet suburb. We were told to go around either side of high tide, to make entering from the rocky shoreline easier, and we’re glad we did. It doesn’t look like much from the shore, but beneath the surface there are plenty of different species of fish and even some super-cute and curious squid! It was a bit windy and choppy on the day we visited, which hampered the visibility, but we think that a calm day could be well worth returning for. It was hard to find out more about the origins of the name, beyond the fact that it had been referred to that way for over 100 years for the obvious reason. It was highly-utilised Gweagal site before European settlement. The rock shelters around there would have offered protection and privacy while providing sweeping views of the waterways and surrounding land.

Beautiful secluded cove on port hacking near Cronulla. A great private place for sunbaking and a swim as it's always secluded from the wind. There is a playground for kids and clean amenities.

Salmon Haul Reserve is a great little spot to get away from the crowds at Cronulla, it's never really too packed so always a good spot to sit get a tan and go for a swim. The parking is a bit hard, but you will find a spot. The walk is not very long at all though it is very hilly with a lot of stairs so just keep in that mind if you have any medical conditions or anything else that could get you into trouble with the stairs and hills. Amazing place to go for sunrises and sunsets, I have posted some photos of the sun set which are beautiful. Enjoy 🌅🏖️
