Reviews
Nice views, blue skies. The beach is quite private, though considering I went on a weekday explains it. It was a little windy and sunny.
Absolutely beautiful walk along the Oceanside with a fresh breeze to keep us cool. Done the walk to Marley beach twice, and is absolutely stunning!
Nice spot, a fair few boats park too close to shore. I recommend the jibbon loop via the engravings and Shelly beach.
Great walking track just have to becarefull of the heat and take lots of water
Come after it has rained for a while to ensure clean flowing water
We followed the coastal track from Bundeena to Marley beach. Lots of scenery and it's a great relaxing coastal walk. The track was relatively easy
We did Bundeena to Marley Head. World class beaches, incredible sweeping coastal views featuring ancient carved sandstone cliffs and deep blue ocean and the white misty spray from the crashing waves. Surrounded by flora and smells like apple cider, one was surprised at each turn by amazing views, wildlife and even historical sites. This is an incredible hike - one of the prettiest in NSW!
This is a huge piece of sandstone that features multiple aboriginal carvings dating back over a millennia! The carvings are maintained by descendants and can be viewed from a raised and very well maintained platform. They are tough to make out but they are there - younger eyes are a help. The track from Jibbon Beach is fairly close and a much easier hike than from the top of the Royal Coast Walk. Either way, know that those excellent facilities you see at the beginning of the trails are not going to be seen again further in, so bring your water and prepare accordingly. The carvings are close, there is a an excellent interpretive area right before the carvings that happened to be a regular campsite for aboriginals from when the carvings initially took place and likely well before. A fantastic site in a fantastic park!
One of my favourite coastal walks so far. I recommend parking in Bundeena and starting the trail there and walking all the way to Marley Beach, passing by the Wedding Cake Rock on the way. A lot of flat cliff edges that you can sit on and have a rest while admiring the ocean views.
Lovely track. Started at the Otford entrance and hiked towards Bundeena. Beautiful scenery along the walk and also visited the Figure 8 pools.
Fantastic walk with amazing views!!!! The track does get busy, so courtesy must be excersied by all. Plenty of places to rest and have a snack while admiring the views. Keep an eye out for migrating whales. Make sure to bring enough water and a bite to eat.
Very nice. No bathrooms. Only took like an hour
Lovely and not many people around.
We had a great walk in perfect weather. I suppose you need a bit of imagination to spot all the engravings but we could make out some of it. It remains impressive that it was made so long ago.
One of the most beautiful track that I keep coming back to.
It easy enough to bring your toddlers with you but be super mindful of the edges. This track has easy directions so less chances of getting lost.
If you are lucky you can spot a whale or two during their migration season.
Highly recommend track if you want a relaxed walk with stunning coastal views.

Lovely place! Although it's difficult to get a good view of the main waterfall, there are several smaller picturesque falls as the creek approaches the cliff. Watch out for the New Holland Honeyeaters darting around.
Nice flat and well constructed walking track. Suitable for new starters. No gear required. Good for whale 🐳 watching at Sep to Nov. But equally breathtaking view in anyday.
Nice coast track - royal national park. Different tracks with different length that you can choose from. Day trip or multi-days hike are all available. Short tracks are suitable for kids too.
Nice coastal scenery. Some rocky parts. Ensure you wear good shoes.

Excellent day hike and best experienced without a car. Take the train to Otford and then at the end of the hike, take the ferry from Bundeena to Cronulla to get the train home.
It is a solid full day though, so make sure to get an early start so you don't miss the last ferry.
The walk snakes north on the coast with a few beach walks at the beginning and a lot of clifftop walking most of the rest of the way. The view are stunning and this is a must do for all Sydney or Wollongong folk.

WOW! I went on a bit of a rainy day (it was sunny at first but then drizzled a bit) and it was amazing! The gloomy vibe added extra beauty to this already-beautiful walk. I did the loop track.
We did the loop walk on a weekend with three generations and all managed very well with the walk only taking circa,3 hours. Jibbon Beach and Shelley Beach are highlights with the entire walk being very picturesque. An excellent viewing platform and information to appreciate Aboringinal rock carvings part way along. We stayed in Cronulla planning to catch the Ferry to Bundeena however rough seas meant the Ferry did not operate so driving to Bundeena and parking was just as easy. Great cafes in Bundeena to have breakfast, lunch or coffee before or after walking. Highly recommend the walk and Bundeena for a relaxing day.
A very small nude beach. Lots of lovely shells on the beach and interesting rock pools.
The perfect place to relax and be one with nature. I was one of 7 people enjoying total freedom there yesterday. The rock formations are stunning and the water was very pleasant to swim in.
Long walk but well worth it if your interested in our history
Short hike from the end of Jibbon Beach (mostly grassland and flat terrain)
Amazing views of port hacking and Cronulla.
Highly recommended walk.
Highly recommended walk.
The Coast track is located in Sydney's Royal National Park and presents an epic multi-day walk between Bundeena and Otford. The walk is epic full of incredible coastal lookouts, swimming spots, seasonal wildflowers. The Coast track can be tackled in sections or, if you’re super-fit, in a day. It's best experienced as a 2-day backpack trip with an overnight stop at North Era campground (advance bookings required). Plan your walk during whale watching season, May to October, for a chance to spot migrating humpback whales. Highly recommended.
NPWS could turn this into something nice
Good walk
Look it's just a patch of grass on the trail. A nice play to stop along the trail that is Lady Carrington Drive
Really simple walk from the end of jibbon Beach. Very fun to look at this well preserved history and read the stories that go along with it. The raised walk way so you can look down on the etchings is a great additive. Bring some shoes to walk there from the end of the beach as there was some glass around.
Beautiful track along the coast. Lots of boardwalk been added, which is a little narrow and can make passing people a little tricky. Parking at the beaches can fill up quickly at the weekend. Make sure you take plenty of water, snacks if you are out there for a while!
Fantastic view on Cronulla, Kurnell and city. Quite and open. Great for while watching
Nice little quite beach far away from the crowd. People saying it is nude one but I have not meet anyone naked out there 😛
A beautiful part of Sydney and an easy walking track
Stunning scenery, aboriginal carvings and easy walk around beach and through bush. Highly recommended
After doing the beautiful hike along the coast this is a very nice place to hang out, take a swim during the hot months and enjoy the views. Be careful after heavy rain as it can become dangerous. The creek looks unreal as it goes over the cliff and creates a beautiful waterfall. Very nice here.
Little Jibbon Beach is a small beach that has been used for decades as a nudist beach. The beach itself is quite small, but the cove to the east provides additional space and is easily reached at low tide. Bushwalkers passing through on the RNP Coast Track sometimes come down to the beach for a skinny dip.
Good view with signed posted along the track.suitable for biking or hiking. Perfect spot for outdoor.
There is no clear pathway onto the beach so some rock climbing is required to get down onto the sand areas. You could expect to see nude persons at this small beach going by the amount of hand written messages on the rocks and sign posts in the area saying "Nude Beach"
A nice walk to this location.

AMAZING. GO THERE NOW. BEAUTIFUL. 11/10
A scenic gravel track through the national park, for both bikers and walkers. Took the kids through with a kids seat attachment on the bike and a bike trailer with my other child, a fairly easy track but can be difficult with the extra weight on some of the steaper inclines and the uneven surfaces, definitely a good workout. There are rest stops along away, however we did not see any toilet or water facilities, so ensure you bring enough water for the trip
Beautiful views after a short hike
Lovely little beach, mostly rocky shore - does require a bit of a rock hop/climb, and you need to consider the tide height. Oh also there's likely to be a nude person or two.
Good walk but overgrown in some places.
Fantastic aboriginal rock art with a viewing platform so you can see then from above.
Walk through the forest from jersey spring and gibaltar rock.
All adventurers will love this journey

A magical and beautiful place
Pretty interesting to see these old rock carvings, you have to search to see some, but there is an elevated platform to view the rocks with signs of the carvings.
Not so difficult to walk from Wattamolla Beach, just spent around an hour. The view is awesome, but there is no waterfalls sometimes.
Fantastic coast views. Lots of birds. The Jibbon head track is mostly a sand track through bushes with few views, but the end near the head is worth it.
Beautiful place to rest. Running water and a giant stone cube can be found. Midpoint to Audley boatshed. Can you cross the river and find where the track continues.
