Jibbon Loop Track

Strictly speaking, this track is part of the Royal National Park’s mighty coastal path, but the loop around Jibbon Head, which takes in several charming and unspoiled beaches, is often overlooked and actually makes for a lovely and very manageable day hike all on its own. Beginning in the heart of the only Sydney suburb actually within the Royal National Park’s boundaries, Bundeena, the first half of the walk takes you along the golden sands of Jibbon Beach, before heading into denser bushland. The ocean views from Jibbon Head Lookout are something special, and if you want to draw out your trip a little longer, Shelley Beach is a great spot to lay down a towel for a picnic before taking the return leg of the loop track.
