Jibbon Beach

Jibbon Beach is a crescent-shaped shoreline in Royal National Park that stretches about 800 meters along Port Hacking. The sand is clean and yellow, with deep blue water that drops steeply as you move away from the shore.

The area contains Aboriginal rock carvings that are thousands of years old and carefully managed as part of the protected park. These engravings represent some of the oldest evidence of human presence at this location.

The name comes from the Dharawal language, referring to traditional terms for sandbars that appear at low tide. This connection reflects the long relationship between this place and its original inhabitants.

Reaching the beach requires driving into Royal National Park and paying a vehicle entry fee. Lifeguards are not stationed here, so visitors should take personal responsibility for their safety.

The Jibbon Loop Track guides visitors through coastal plants to view ancient Aboriginal engravings via an elevated boardwalk system. This pathway approach protects the carvings while allowing close viewing of the rock art.
