Lighthouse sights in Sydney

1. A Map

   Barrenjoey Lighthouse

   • Sydney, Australia
   • Sights › Lighthouse

   This historic lighthouse (1881) punctuates the northern tip of the northern beaches in an annexe of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. You’ll need some decent shoes for the steep 20-minute hike (no toilets!), but the views across Pittwater are worth the effort. On Sundays short tours run every half-hour from 11am to 3pm; no need to book ahead.

   Macquarie Lighthouse

   • Sydney, Australia
   • Sights › Lighthouse

   When the original Francis Greenway–designed lighthouse (1818) fell into disrepair and was dismantled, the current lighthouse (1883) was built in front of it as an exact replica. It’s a pretty spot, with grassy lawns, heavenly ocean views and a cliff-top trail extending to North Bondi. Before the lighthouse was built, a series of fires were lit along this coast to keeps ships away from the cliffs.
