3 Best Day Trips from Sydney | Condé Nast Traveler
"The scenic walk up to historic Barrenjoey Lighthouse is a Palm Beach must-do, with paths winding through natural bushland offering stunning sea views. It’s a fairly easy, occasionally steep one-kilometre trek to the top, but rewards the effort. Built in 1881, the hunk of sandstone occupies the most northerly point of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, 91 metres above sea level. Once at the top, you’ll get breathtaking views of oceanfront Palm Beach, sparkling Pittwater inlet, and the hammerhead shark-shaped peninsula; walk beyond the lighthouse to gaze north to the Central Coast across Broken Bay, and west to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park . Take note: you can only check out the inside of the lighthouse on Sundays through a paid, 30-minute guided tour." - Sophie Davies
