Craig HillRoyal National Park featuring Wattamolla and Garie Beaches
January 29th 2007 03:36
Yesterday we jumped on the Vespa and headed south from Sydney towards the Royal National Park, which is close to Sutherland and Waterfall. It was a good sunny day, if a little windy, but a nice ride in all. We headed first to Waterfall and entered the park from the entrance there. It is $11 to get into the park, unless you are driving through to Wollongong, and you pay at a booth at one of the entries to the park. The Royal National Park is the second oldest national park in the World, with only Yellowstone in the USA being preserved in this fashion before.
Anyway, we first headed to Garie beach, which is a known surf beach in the park. The surf was a bit rough and the building of some of pavillion meant on this day it probably wasn't the best location to enjoy the afternoon. After about 15 minutes we decided to head on to Wattamolla, a protected beach a bit further north.
I hadn't been here before, and I wasn't expecting such a nice spot. It is protected by cliffs, so there isn't any surf, which is a shame, but definitely good for the family. On one side you have a saltwater lagoon and then on the other is the beach, divided by a sandbar.
There were lots of families in the area, so if you are looking for a quiet spot this may not be for you, but it was a nice day out.
