    Barrenjoey Lighthouse is perched at the northern tip of Palm Beach on Barrenjoey Head, overlooking the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and Pittwater. Built in 1881 using locally sourced sandstone, this historic lighthouse was designed to help guide ships into Broken Bay. Access to the site is via a relatively steep walking track that offers stunning coastal views, making it one of the most iconic landmarks along Sydney's northern beaches.

    Great view of the coast. You can even see whales from here.
