Escape to Paradise: Burning Palms Beach Adventure | Unforgettable Australia Travel | 4K

A beautiful surf beach in the Royal National Park, Burning Palms Beach can only be reached by foot - so while it can get pretty busy, it won’t be crowded. The beach is home to about 20 heritage listed cabins or shacks on the northern slope, and has a surf lifesaving club that was founded in 1939. The beach is generally patrolled every Sunday and public holidays from the last weekend in September to the end of April each year.
We did the longer but more shaded route that starts near the Otford Lookout on Lady Wakehurst Drive, and descends through the Palm Jungle to the beach. This is the best option if you’re using public transport, with the trailhead about one kilometer from Otford Station. (10.5km return or 12km loop).
