Point Perpendicular Lighthouse and Lookout
Highlights
- Explore the historic Point Perpendicular Lighthouse and soak in its stunning coastal views from the headland.
- Spot migrating whales and resident seals from the 90-metre lookout, enhancing your wildlife experience during cooler months.
- Wander the Beecroft Peninsula's scenic paths, perfect for birdwatching and enjoying the rich natural surroundings.
- Access the lighthouse on weekends and NSW school holidays, ensuring a memorable outing for families and nature lovers.
Spend a day exploring Beecroft Peninsular, the majestic Point Perpendicular Lighthouse is the crowning glory on the tip of a towering headland. While there is no access to the inside of the lighthouse, the view from the grounds of the lighthouse alone makes this drive worthwhile.
The lookout is around 90 metres above sea level, making it perfect for spotting migrating whales during the cooler months as they migrate north, and you can also spot resident seals, white-bellied sea eagles and pelagic fish as they hunt in the rich seas below.
The light station was a major coastal light in a network of navigational aids operated and maintained by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. It has now been replaced by a new lighthouse, but the building remains and is of historic significance.
The gravel road to the lighthouse may deteriorate during bad weather and at times the road is closed because of Naval gunnery training exercises. Access is usually only available Friday afternoons, Saturday and Sunday as well as NSW School Holiday periods.
