Wattamolla Waterfall reviews
17This is a great spot currently undergoing major updates, lots of construction but the beach is well away from it. Sadly way to popular on a hot day. Lots of parking mid week but expect huge numbers on the weekend. Picnicking tables with and without shade available near the car park, good bathroom.
A very natural lake/waterfall which flows into the ocean. You can have the previlege of camping between the beach and the lake at the same time.
Wattamolla Waterfall is super pretty spot. It’s located at Wattamolla Beach and is easily accessible from the car park. Less than a minute walk. You can view the waterfall from the upper area as well as from the beach. Easy swim to the fall as well.
Weekdays and non-summer months are less busy as it can get a bit crowded during summer school holidays and summer weekends.
Very lovely place. Getting crowded specially on weekend and although there are lots of parking spot, but still it may difficult to find a parking spot if u go late.
Nice place to jump, but it's not entirely safe and it needs better access for jumpers.
The council knows very well that people jump here. So I'm not sure why they have signs that tell people not to jump? If you're so scared for their safety, renovate the area (by installing safe ramps to the jumping area and removing deceptive rocks) and make it risk-free for all people to jump. Let's face it, signs won't be heeded anyway. Or are they going to wait until somebody dies?
Definitely a beautiful spot. Weekdays it’s quiet and perfect for a swim. The pontoon has been removed so you can either walk the long way around to the beach or you can wade through the chest high water to the other side. Definitely worth a visit if you’re driving through the national park.
The rocky area above the water level, approximately 30-35 feet is frequented by adventurous people who jump from the cliff after climbing and crawling through the rock. I should say the jump to the water below which should be 15-20 feet deep is a very exciting activity if you are adventurous. After the jump you need to swim towards the shore. Warning signs are kept at the spot which discourages the jump there.
Fantastic place for family picnics at the beach or park! Children will love it. Option of swimming in the ocean or by a waterfall! Note, this beach is not patrolled by lifeguards! Plenty of car parking (be early). $12 National Parks entry fee.
Location was amazing. Initially i didnt think i would get a park as it was a public holiday but there were plenty at the top.
Waterfalls and shallow water. Great place for families. Only thing that let it down were the flies.glad i went but the flies killed the day. Take bug spray n hopefully they wont ruin the ambiance
Certainly this place is crowded during summer time. Although there are some areas under re-construction and unable to be accessed it is a nice place to bring kids, family and spend an afternoon
The place is awesome. To jump off the waterfall is incredible. Two things, there are parking rangers crawling like ants. They are not there to preserve nature or anything like that. It's about findinga car without the right ticket. Second thing is the park benches and path is worn out. In need of maintenance. 5 stars for the gift nature gave us, 1 star for government.
One of the amazing sightseeing or places that you would ever go or see.
Things you will need to prepare and to do
First 12 dollars for the parking fees
Drinks and food if you wanna stay there longer than five hours
Make sure to jump from the cliff and make someone to take a video of you doing that or use GProH5

Beautiful place, plenty of parking. Calm and wavy water available and cliff diving! Great for the whole family.
It’s a good place to swim, relax and spend time with kids. We actually expected to see the beauty of the waterfall and it was a bit disappointing. The place is still beautiful and peaceful though. Just know what to expect:)
I’ve came just to do one thing is jump the rock. Despite of it’s forbidden this is pretty safe place. The rock itself is about 7 meters. Water is deep enough, it is enough even for big guys since it is about 4-5 meters deep. Since it’s available by car beach is pretty overcrowded but the rock is not at all.
The best spot in the area, great location for BBQ, swimming or to just to relax and spend a great day with the family.
