Barrenjoey Lighthouse
Barrenjoey Lighthouse stands atop Barrenjoey Headland at the northern end of Palm Beach, offering photographers sweeping views across the Pacific Ocean, Broken Bay, and Pittwater. Built in 1881 from local sandstone, the lighthouse rises above steep coastal cliffs and rugged bushland, creating a striking subject against open sea and sky. The elevated position provides multiple vantage points for wide coastal compositions, with Palm Beach stretching south and the Central Coast visible across the water. The walk up the headland offers additional perspectives along the trail, including views of the lighthouse framed by native vegetation and rocky slopes. Sunrise and late afternoon light often produce the most dramatic conditions, with golden light illuminating the sandstone tower and surrounding coastline. (Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia)
