Route/Trail notes
Follow the well sign-posted track from Garrawarra Farm cark park down the Burgh Ridge towards the coast. Once Burning Palm Beach is reached, walk south along the back to the end. Here a rough track leads to the rock platform at the base of the cliffs. Follow the coast until the Figure 8 Pool is reached.
NOTE: This walk MUST be done within an hour of low tide and in good conditions. Figure 8 Pool is underwater at high tide, and dangerous if there is a large swell. There have been injuries and deaths caused by people being swept off the rocks.
Permits/Costs
National Park entry fee / annual pass.
