Burning Palms is a very pleasant beach towards the south end of Royal National Park. I walked there from Otford with Chuin Nee, John and Jasper.
Our walk was a circular path – first along the escarpment – high above the sea, then down through rainforest and a palm jungle to the beach itself. We returned by the path to Garrawarra and then back along the tops to rejoin the track that we had used on the way in.
The most interesting part of the walk was the delightful rock platforms south of Burning Palms beach. These form a popular walk to the well known Figure Eight Pool. The pool is marvellous but so too are the rock platforms nearby with there interesting shapes and weathering. A good place to make use of a wide angle lens!
If going out that way – it is worth checking that the tide is low first.
