Figure 8 Pools

By: Claudia MacPhail
 
If you’re looking for an adventure this summer, then the spectacular figure 8 pools are a secret hotspot you must see for yourself. 


Located in the Royal national park, near Burning Palms Beach, 37km south of Sydney, these amazing ocean pools are definitely worth the visit.
After a 3.5km walk along the coast, you will reach the rock ledge where you’ll find perfectly figure 8 shaped pools that are deep enough to swim in. It is important to note that it is only safe to visit at low tide as high tide can result in very dangerous conditions so it is recommended to check surf forecasts prior to visiting.
Additional information:
Take extreme caution, the rock platform can be slippery.
Come prepared! The hike there is steep so bring plenty of water, sunscreen and wear proper hiking shoes.

Enjoy the scenic views and all that this naturally breathtaking attraction has to offer!
