The walk from the parking lot near the NSW National Parks Glenbrook Office to the Jellybean Pool via the Jellybean Walking Track takes around 15 minutes one-way and the walking track is of Medium grade with few sets of steps here and there. There are few picnic tables and also bathrooms near this parking lot. This parking lot also is your secondary parking if the parking near the pool is full, which is quite common during peak times.
Otherwise, from the parking lot closer to the Jellybean Pool, take the Glenbrook Creek Walking Track, which only takes less than 5 minutes to the pool. There are steps leading to the pool from the car park and the walk is very easy.
The pool has a reasonable amount of sand space for the kids to play around and for the parents to sit back and relax on the beach. The kids spent some fun time building a sand castle while the adults spent a couple of relaxing hours on our beach blanket. Australia has some of the highest levels of UV radiation in the world so make sure to apply sunscreen (SPF50+) every time you're out and about. We didn't get to swim in the pool however we do believe that the pool is very deep so be watchful of your kids. Overall, the pool is nice and is a great spot for a day trip. If you time it right and avoid the crowd, this entire place will be yours so it's more like a private pool in nature.
There is also the Red Hands Cave located nearby, which is accessible both by car and a walking track. However, we didn't have enough time to visit the cave during this trip. We were captivated by the tranquil beauty of Jellybean Pool, as we had the place all to ourselves. The visit to Red Hands Cave will have to be saved for another day trip!
