Palm Jungle Loop Track is a relatively challenging circuit in the southern section of Royal National Park that passes through beautiful eucalypt forest, coastal rainforest, palm-filled gullies, cliff tops, and sections of the Coast Track. The walk includes steep descents, many steps, and some rough terrain, with plenty of scenery, including views of Burning Palms Beach and panoramic ocean views from the Werrong Lookout. With limited signage and some demanding sections, it's best to use your komoot offline GPS route or a paper map to stay on course.

Burning Palms Beach

Highlight • Beach

This 500 meter long beach is only reachable on foot and therefore is rarely overcrowded. In addition to the gorgeous sand and water you'll also find around 20 heritage listed beach cabins and a surf lifesaving club that patrols the beach every Sunday and public holiday from the end of September to the end of April.
