Figure 8Pools is located in Royal National Park (Royal National Park), south of Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, about 50 kilometers from downtown Sydney.
Figure 8Pools is known for its unique shape, and nature's ingenuity has made it look like Arab number "8". Figure 8Pools is naturally formed on the seaside granite, the outer edge of the rock is the boundless sea, and the surrounding lake cluster formed a Figure 8Pools scenic spot, became the most worthy of the Sydney suburbs of the unique sea view and many photographers' new favorite.
Figure 8Pools is a natural environment area, there are no coffee shops and restaurants along the way, so on the way to prepare enough dry food, in the scenic beach, you can eat a wild meal to replenish physical strength, and then continue to the end. In addition to adequate food and water preparation, but also to guard against wild animals. The most important thing is to check the Burning Palms Beach tide schedule before making the trip, to go when the tide (Low tide), lest because the tide water level is too high to completely drown the rock, so that can only see a blue vast ocean, but can not see the magic eight-character.
