Let's do this! We are so excited for your trip and hope this guide helps plan the best one! This itinerary is made based on a 3 day trip but you can use the optional days to extend to 5 days or more!

Day 1

Early Morning: Royal National Park

Get an early start from Sydney (like 7am) and head 45mins south to Australia's oldest national park with beaches, rainforests and stunning cliffs! There is no fee if you drive through the park but if you are looking to stop and explore the park, there is an entry fee of $12 per vehicle.

There are so many coastal walks you can choose from so depending on the duration of your trip, we suggest stopping by Wattamolla beach or even Governor Game Lookout which is a perfect pit stop for a car tour. If you have 3+ days on this trip then you can even experience a trail or two, our favourite being the Wattamolla to Eagle Rock trail.

Wattamolla Beach

Family friendly, white sand beach with a creek, lagoon and waterfall! There is also a picnic area if you want to just enjoy the sand in your toes and experience a slice of the most picturesque beaches in the Royal National Park.
