Deer Pool

Deer Pool

Walk-in: 80 minutes, 3.8km, easy

Enter via Marley Track, Bundeena Rd, Royal National Park

While not a destination in itself, tiny Deer Pool serves as a perfect and welcome stop-off to and from Little Marley Beach in the Royal National Park. There’s a sandstone platform on which to relax, as well as a small, sandy beach. The waterfall can run dry in drought but the pool remains just deep enough for a cooling dip.
