Cape Baily Lighthouse - Kurnell (NSW)

Ale Bern Nice easy walk with great view. Road a bit rough but manages with a normal car.

Samantha Kay Living in Port Stephens, we’ve been exploring local attractions, and this one was an absolute gem! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. We loved being able to chat with the handlers and learn about all the fascinating creatures. The highlight for us was hanging out with the rays, sharks, and eels—my 9-year-old daughter was thrilled! The creatures were so friendly, and it was such a hands-on, engaging experience. We went all out and got the mega ticket, which included a meet-and-greet with the birds. It was so much fun having them perch on us and fly around! The pass also included a free meal, and the dining area was incredible—with creatures swimming above and tanks all around. Watching the feeding sessions was a real treat, and being able to purchase food to feed the animals ourselves was such a unique touch. While the food options were limited, I was happy to find something that suited my dietary needs, which is always appreciated. The only downside was that the butterfly exhibit wasn’t open, but nature happens, and it’s something to look forward to on our next visit. We spent about 3 hours here as a family of three and absolutely loved every moment. Highly recommend—5 stars!

Suman Roy It’s a very nice scenic point with very short trail of around 900 mt. It’s hard to spot the parking because as per the g-map, you can take your vehicle up-to the location, which isn’t. Other than that, the view is amazing.

Colin Merriman Beautiful spot. One of my favourite locations and it is only a few minutes from home.

Revital Youthspan Shoal bay Beach has to be one of the most picturesque beaches to visit on the east coast of Australia. Beautiful pristine water with magnificent views and north facing. Parking is available and amenities are there for shower and toilets too. Shops and restaurants align the souther part of the beach and the choices are amazing. For those that like adventure a walk up Mt Tommaree will reward with magnificent photos of the coastline.

rainer alam The lighthouse itself is pretty ordinary. It stands on a small hill. you can do tracking, it will take half an hour to complete a round trip. The view was beautiful. I went there on the time of sunset. It was an easy relaxed walk to the top. You can park your car and then walk towards the lighthouse.

Patrick Wells Awesome walking track with plenty of beautiful views of coastline. Single-lane road and limited parking near the top of Cromarty Hill Rd, so be mindful of that.
