Located in Kamay Botany Bay National Park in the suburb of Kurnell. Pay your $8 national park fee and drive to the Cape Solander lookout. Walk 100 m south along the cliff edge and follow the ramp down where the boulders meet the cliff. Scramble down and either continue south for another 100m for the main area and Little Mermaid area or backtrack 100m north for the lookout area.
