What to expect

Barrenjoey Lighthouse is a heritage-listed lighthouse located at Barrenjoey Headland in Palm Beach, Sydney. The lighthouse was built in 1881 and offers outstanding views of Broken Bay, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, and the Central Coast. It can be reached by a couple of walks, including the easy and picturesque Barrenjoey track or the more challenging Smugglers track. The lighthouse is one of the most iconic sights on Sydney's northern beaches and boasts a notable cultural heritage. It's a great place to visit with family and friends, and visitors may recognize it from the TV show Home and Away. The area is also great for whale watching between May and September
