Barrenjoey Lighthouse

Barrenjoey Lighthouse is a heritage-listed 1881 sandstone lighthouse on Barrenjoey Headland at Palm Beach, the northernmost point of Sydney in New South Wales. Located within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, it stands above Pittwater and Broken Bay. Designed by Colonial Architect James Barnet, it is the third light on the headland and remains an active aid to navigation, known for panoramic coastal views and its historic keeper's cottages.

Visitors can expect a short but steep 1km uphill walk to the lighthouse via the Barrenjoey Track or Smugglers Track through Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. At the summit, the sandstone lighthouse, keeper's cottages and surrounds offer 360-degree views over Pittwater, Broken Bay, the Central Coast and Sydney's northern beaches. The site includes interpretive displays, lookouts and access to Station Beach below. Guided tours of the lighthouse interior are available on Sundays.
