Wedding Cake Rock
Highlights
- Discover the striking white rock of Wedding Cake Rock, a stunning natural feature against the rugged coastal cliffs.
- Embark on a one-hour walk from Bundeena, enjoying the adventure through coastal heathland and vibrant spring wildflowers.
- Capture breathtaking ocean views and spot whales from various lookout points along the scenic Coast track.
- Respect safety guidelines by admiring Wedding Cake Rock from a distance, ensuring a safe and memorable experience.
Located around one hour’s walk south of Bundeena, Wedding Cake Rock is a highlight along the famous Coast track. The pure white rock stands out against the harder sandstone of the coastal cliffs – its sharp edges and deep cracks giving it a unique shape, like a slice of cake perched high above the pounding ocean.
The white colour is caused by iron leaching, which makes the sandstone layers dangerously soft, prone to cracking and at very high risk of collapse. For your safety, please don’t stand or sit on the rock, or venture too close to cliff edges.
Getting there is half the adventure, as you tackle the steep and rocky track through coastal heathland, home to spring wildflowers, swamp wallabies and birdlife. The track traces the coastal cliffs, offering sweeping ocean views perfect for whale watching – and plenty of vantage points to take incredible photos of Wedding Cake Rock without compromising your safety.
On your way home, return along the track to Bundeena, or continue past Wedding Cake Rock down to Marley Beach.
