This lighthouse is an absolute gem! Standing tall against the stunning coastline, it offers breathtaking panoramic views. The guided tour was informative, sharing captivating stories of maritime history. The climb to the top was worth every step, as the mesmerizing ocean vistas unfolded. The preservation efforts are commendable, maintaining the lighthouse's charm and authenticity. A truly remarkable experience that will stay with me forever. Highly recommend visiting this beacon of beauty!

A good 20-25 minute walk from Watson’s Bay. We stopped pretty frequently on the way and took some photos. The lighthouse itself is smaller than expected but a treat to see. You can climb up but obviously no entryway to the inside.

It's a short 20-30mins walk from the nearest drop off, Camp Cove Carpark, on relatively flat ground. The walk itself is gorgeous, with many scenic sights for photo opportunities. You also have access to some beaches, whether Camp Cove beach, or Lady Bay Beach (nudity accepted).After you're done with a one way in, one way out walkway, head down to Watson Bay ferry wharf to take a ferry back to Circular Quay. Enjoy a fish and chips along the way. You'll enjoy the entire morning.

Sweeping views of the ocean. A short and easy scenic walk: only 20mins from Watsons Bay.

One of the best places in Sydney to watch the sun rise. It is about a 10 minute walk from the parking area, the trail is well laid out and will cross Lady Bay beach. Loved the visit. Would definitely go again with friends and family.

It's more than 1 km, I think, walking distance from Watson's Bay ferry. And when you get there, the paint is peeling off the lighthouse. Nice cafe at Cone beach enroute.
