A stunning white sandstone overhang perched on the cliffs of Royal National Park looking like a giant slice of wedding cake. The coastal walk from Bundeena or Otford passes through heathland with panoramic ocean views before reaching this iconic formation. The surrounding coastline features dramatic cliff faces and secluded beaches. A popular walk for Sydney locals on weekends and best enjoyed on clear sunny days.
Know before you go
Stay behind the safety fencing as the rock is unstable and could collapse. No shade on the walk so bring sun protection. Allow 4-5 hours return from Bundeena.
