Established in 1879, Royal National Park is the world's second oldest national park - after Yellowstone in the USA.

Only 32 km from Sydney, the Royal packs incredible natural diversity into a relatively small area. It offers riverside picnics, great surf beaches, clifftop heathland walks, rainforest cycle tracks, and much more.

In July 2006, this park was added to the National Heritage List.

Park highlights

  • The rich forests along Lady Carrington Drive, a historic walking and cycling trail beside the Hacking River.
  • Swimming at Wattamolla, on the beach or in the lagoon.
  • The sense of Victorian park life you get at Audley, with its causeway, picnic lawns and rowboats.
  • The Coast Track - two days and 26 kilometres of diverse environments and spectacular views.
