How to get to Cronulla Beach

  • We recommend carpooling, there will be many cars driving up to Cronulla Beach and parking is limited
  • Cronulla train station is a short walk from the beach. You can check the event website for more details. 

A few hot tips to help you prepare!

  • Get your bag organised the night before, create a checklist for yourself to ensure you have everything you might need.
  • We recommend not trying a different breakfast meal - stick with what works for your body to ensure you have a 'happy' stomach. 
  • When you arrive at Cronulla Beach, to start studying the surf as you do at every CanToo coached beach session. Have a look where the buoys are placed. 
  • Be ready for the coaches briefing and pre-race warm up to clear any jitters. This is the time to test your goggles are clean and snug. 
  • If you are starting in a later wave, try to limit your sun exposure and stay hyrdrated.
