Refuge Bay
Refuge Bay is one of those spots that genuinely stops you in your tracks — drop anchor off a stunning secluded beach in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and you're rewarded with a natural cliff-top freshwater pool fed by a cascading waterfall, just a short walk up from the sand. It's a 3–4 hour moderate hike to fully explore the area, but even just swimming at the beach with that waterfall backdrop makes it worth the trip.
