Hike to Figure 8 Pools, Royal National Park, Sydney, Australia

Figure Eight Pools is located on a dangerous rock shelf in Sydney's Royal National Park. Only accessible about two hours either side of low tide, they are found on the rock platform two headlands south of Burning Palms Beach Also plan your trip using the wave risk forecast. It’s a long, hard 6-9km walk on a steep, narrow, slippery track in a remote area and takes 2 to 2.5 hours each way. The shortest walk is a steep 3.5km track that winds down more than 100m of elevation to the ocean. Even with the new boardwalk National Parks built, it will take over one hour to walk there. Aim to get to Figure Eight Pools before midday. No one wants to walk back up that hill in the dark, and park gates are locked by 8.30pm.
