About

When you’re pining for the feel of sand between your toes, take the family and head to Wattamolla picnic area in Royal National Park. With loads of options to keep everyone happy, this is a popular place to base yourself while you’re exploring the park.

The kids will love the calm waters of the lagoon for snorkelling, swimming and liloing. Unpack a picnic under the shade of the cabbage tree palms and do some serious unwinding, or head to the beach for a spot of fishing.

After enjoying a barbecue lunch, go for a walk along one of the beach tracks, with a prize for the first to see a sea eagle or oystercatcher.

Wattamolla Beach is only patrolled during the summer months. There is a per vehicle, per day entry fee to enter the Royal National Park.

Beautiful swimming spot with calm waters and lot of shade. It was nice and quiet until 2 pm on a week day. Lot of picnic area with BBQ and pergola. It is inside the Royal National Park and the $ 12 day pass fee apply unless you have the Parks Annual Pass.
