Hornsby Lighthouse

GO WALKABOUT

A spectacular vista of the city skyline and unobstructed views of the vast Pacific Ocean - Watsons Bay has it all, including some incredible walking paths. Put on your active gear and climb the sandstone steps of The Gap for unsurpassed panoramic views of the ocean.

For the keen, you can walk all the way to Bondi following the coastline, but most enjoy walking to the classic Hornsby Lighthouse, chatting to the friendly locals and patting their adorable pups on the way. Whichever direction you take, we promise remarkable views, lush greenery and fresh air.
