Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse Walk - Sydney - Review

During the last summer holidays, we took advantage of the great weather and headed to Palm Beach to complete the popular walk up to the Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse.

When you arrive at the Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse walk, there are two ways to climb up. The flat long pathway on the left or the steep stairs on the right.

The kids were surprised when they saw the stairs they had to walk up to but they took the challenge on and climbed up to the top and really enjoyed it.

The stunning view from the top was worth all the effort and exercise!

The Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse was also very nice to look at.

After admiring the views from the top and taking some stunning photos, we took the long way down the hill.

We made our way back to the beach to the car but if you want to make it a day, grab some beach gear & a picnic and stay a bit longer or head to the Boathouse Palm Beach for a bite to eat.

We will definetely be back for another walk up to Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse again soon!
