What people say
Thanks to other Google user's advise, I don't have too much trouble to find this place. To use Google map for directions, just mark the destination on the closest point to the Elephant Rock's map icon on Patonga Dr, the GPS will take you to the pathway entrance where only two roadside parking spaces with uneven ground surface. The pathway is narrow but only short walk to the Rock. Little rock climbing needed at end but not difficult for me. There are few other walking trails to this place as well but this is the shortest way. If you are here for second sunset like me, try to remember your way back in dark. I was there on Easter Sunday and felt so lucky to see a beautiful second sunset...
Great for a short sunset bush walk. Unmarked path next to road to Patonga, small space to park car. Amazing view over Patonga !
Amazing place. A bit difficult to spot the entrance. Is a small path off the highway. You cannot really see it. Just follow google maps and park your car where it says you’ve arrived. You will find a yellow post near the side of the road which will lead you to a path around 200 meters or so. Then there is a bit of rocks which need climbing. You don’t need to be in great shape to climb. It’s pretty easy. Then the view is breathtaking.
A hidden spot with magnificent view. The rock formation made you feel like you are on the back of an elephant with a bird's- eye view, real amazing. Beautiful wide view captured Palm Beach view and Patonga Beach view. Great place, love it.
A great natural viewing point for Sunsets. The beauty of the area is the natural bush track that requires a certain degree of fitness to walk up the hill over rocks on a narrow bush trail where you see Some beautiful Sydney sandstone Native flora to view along the way.
