Royal National Park

Sydney's heritage-listed Royal National Park is affectionately known to locals as the Nasho' or just the Royal'. Established in 1879, it's the world's second-oldest national park. It features unique heritage attractions, along with fascinating plants, birds and animals. Perfect for bushwalking, cycling, surfing, picnicking or whale watching, this diverse park offers everything from beaches to rainforest. Located near Cronulla within an hour's drive from both the Sydney CBD and Wollongong, the 16,000ha Royal National Park is like a big beautiful backyard. Whether you come for a morning jog or a week-long camping holiday, you'll discover something new each time.
