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!
