I visited here with my parents in November 2023. It was not a sunny day while the scenery was still nice. I love the wind from South Pacific Ocean. From the Hornby Lighthouse, we can see the Sydney Harbour National Park and the North Head. The lighthouse was under renovation.

It's a short 20-30mins walk from the nearest drop off, Camp Cove Carpark, on relatively flat ground. The walk itself is gorgeous, with many scenic sights for photo opportunities. You also have access to some beaches, whether Camp Cove beach, or Lady Bay Beach (nudity accepted). After you're done with a one way in, one way out walkway, head down to Watson Bay ferry wharf to take a ferry back to Circular Quay. Enjoy a fish and chips along the way. You'll enjoy the entire morning.

A magical and truly beautiful place for sunrise, away from the city of Sydney. If you're chasing sunrise away from the tourist or city area, this is a good place

시드니에서 가장 추천할만한 장소 입니다 페리타고 왓슨스베이로 도착하여 라이트하우스까지 걸어서 가는길에 보이는 요트들, 큰 해변들에 비해 작아서 오히려 더 이쁜 해변과 목적지 도착시 보이는 경관 모두 좋습니다 일반인 분들에겐 걸어서 무난하게 다녀오실 수 있습니다
