Address

The village at the tip of the harbour's south head; cross the park behind the wharf and climb to the ocean cliffs of Gap Park

Step off the ferry and people are eating fish and chips on the lawn by a calm bay, the city skyline far off across the water. Cross Robertson Park behind the wharf and climb five minutes, and it all changes: Pacific swell smashing into tall sandstone cliffs at Gap Park. With time, carry on past Camp Cove beach to the red-and-white striped Hornby Lighthouse. Many people pair it with Bondi on the same day.
