Hornby Lighthouse

Hornby Lighthouse is a beautiful and historic spot located near Watsons Bay, right at the entrance of Sydney Harbour. The red and white striped lighthouse is very charming and makes a perfect photo location. The walking track to the lighthouse is easy and family-friendly, offering scenic views of the coastline along the way. From the top, you can enjoy amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, Sydney Harbour, and even the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the distance. The area is peaceful, and it feels like a hidden gem away from the busy city. Hornby Lighthouse is not only a great place for sightseeing and photography but also a wonderful spot to enjoy the fresh sea air and Sydney’s coastal beauty.”

Beautiful spot. The walk from Watson bay to the lighthouse is nice with paved trail most all the way. However beware of nude folks (there is an area somewhere close to this where nude is legal), specially old man stark naked and masturbating. I got the shock of my life when I realized I was looking down from where I was seated to an old man fondling himself.

Remarkable lighthouse perched on South Head cliffs—its bold red-and-white stripes and panoramic views of Sydney Harbour and the Pacific are simply breathtaking. A scenic, easy walk leads you to this historic beacon, perfect for stunning photos and a serene coastal experience!

I got there around the mid afternoon and wowsers, the view was amazing. The lighthouse itself is worth the walk. It reminds me a lot of “Life Is Strange” if you’ve ever played that game before, you’ll know what I mean. Let's say sunshine for everyone But as far as I can remember We've been migratory animals Living under changing weather Someday we will foresee obstacles Through the blizzard, through the blizzard Today we will sell our uniform Live together Live together We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger Someday we will foresee obstacles Through the blizzard, through the blizzard

One of the best places to see the sea in Sydney, you can take a cheap ferry to get there and join this easy hike. I especially recommend going in the afternoon when the light is very good, but please pay attention to the return ferry time.

It's a cool looking lighthouse with an interesting history found on the information boards. I couldn't really access much though when I went, due to fences blocking off most of it. It was interesting watching other tourists climb very close to the cliff face to go around though.

Cute little lighthouse at the entrance of Sydney harbour, looking out on the ocean. It’s an easy climb from Camp Cove or Watsons bay. The panorama at the top is just gorgeous, the city view or sunset watching is best from the cliffs in front of the Lightkeepers cottage. Last facilities at Camp cove.

Hornby Lighthouse, built in 1858 after the Dunbar shipwreck tragedy. Its red and white stripes stand out on South Head, offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. A must-see in Watsons Bay! Hornby Lighthouse is one of Sydney’s most photogenic landmarks, with candy-striped walls and breathtaking ocean views. Standing on the cliffs of South Head since 1858, Hornby Lighthouse is both a memorial to tragedy and a beacon of hope, watching over the endless sea.
