Plan notes
Useful context before you go
A two-day visit fits the creator’s suggestion that the park deserves more time for its longer hikes. The video notes that the AUD 12 all-day park fee is paid at a parking meter where you park, and that signs point to tracks rather than a central visitor map. The creator also encountered a route shown as a road that was not open; do not assume a mapped track is drivable. The video mentions an eSIM for staying connected during the wider Australian road trip.

Itinerary highlights
What is in this plan
Day 1: Wattamolla and the park’s southern coast
Start with Wattamolla, then explore the named coastal landmark mentioned nearby. In the video, Wedding Cake Rock was closed to access, so treat it as a view-from-permitted-areas stop rather than a place to climb onto.
-
Royal National ParkRoyal National Park, New South Wales, Australia
Pay the all-day park fee at a parking meter where you park; the creator reported a fee of AUD 12. The video also notes that trail directions are posted around the park rather than provided as a central visitor map.
-
Wattamolla BeachWattamolla Beach, Royal National Park, NSW, Australia
The video describes clear water, a waterfall beside the beach, and access to both the lagoon side and ocean side. It also shows people swimming, picnicking, and camping here.
-
Wedding Cake RockWedding Cake Rock, Royal National Park, NSW, Australia
Wedding Cake Rock is named in the video, which says it was closed and visitors were not allowed onto it at the time. Check access locally and stay within permitted areas.
Day 2: Garie Beach, Garie North Point, and Eagle Rock
Give this coast time for beach stops and the rocky walking sections. The creator found that mapped access did not always match what was open on the ground; follow posted signs and avoid exposed rocks when waves are surging.
-
Garie BeachGarie Beach, Royal National Park, NSW, Australia
The creator describes Garie as a large beach with cliffs and nearby coastal walking. They found that the route shown as a coastal track was not open as expected, so do not rely on it as a drive-through road.
-
Garie North PointGarie North Point, Royal National Park, NSW, Australia
Garie North Point is identified by a sign after the beach walk. The video shows coastal walking here and warns that waves can reach slippery rocks; keep well back from the water’s edge.
-
Eagle RockEagle Rock, Royal National Park, NSW, Australia
The creator points out Eagle Rock while looking along the coast and describes reaching the rocky coastal area on foot. Use the established route and avoid scrambling onto wet rocks where waves can sweep across them.
