Hike summary

Exploring the southern coast of Royal National Park this walk experiences different trails and environments with dense forest at Palm Forest to the open grasslands along the Coastline. With a short side trip out to the Figure of Eight Pools this walk becomes a great day in the bush. The views from the Burgh Ridge are something special with views far into the distance along the coast. (Check the tide and wave heights to avoid disappointment at the rock platform for Figure Eight pools.)
