Sightseeing
A truly incredible view is to be scene from this easy to access location. After a pleasant, easy drive through the Kuringai National Park (only about 15 km from the cottage) you arrive at the lookout. Views across Barrenjoey, down Pittwater, across Broken Bay and up the Hawkesbury. Amazing. Plenty of walking tracks to explore the national park also.

After a walk along the beach on the quiet side of Palm Beach follow the old convict built path up the headland to reach the iconic Barrenjoey Lighthouse. The lighthouse is open for tours, but the view is enough in itself. A must!

Catch a ferry and sit and relax as it takes you on a circuit around Scotland Island and across to the Western foreshores. A great way to have a peak at offshore life and experience Pittwater from the water.
