Central Coast Walks: Norah Head Lighthouse

Central Coast Walks: Norah Head Lighthouse loop

Distance: loop | 2.5km | 1 hr

Ability: Easy but there are stairs.

OK, you’ve probably already ventured on this walk towards the iconic Norah Head lighthouse at Norah Head. But, if like us, you’ve not done it for a while, it’s time to retrace your steps of yesteryears.

You’ll start out at the Bush Street Reserve, where there’s a small carpark and a lookout to begin the trek up to the Norah Head Lighthouse.

While the walk is reasonably easy, there’s a steep-ish staircase down to the beach, and you’ll have to cross the rock shelf to get around to the other side, making it better for slightly older children.

Along the way, you’ll see crystal clear water and come across the Norah Head rockpool, then find your way back onto Lighthouse Beach, where you can takea dip in the stunning open water.

There’s a track that takes you back to the grassy area of the reserve where you started.

Now that you’ve completed the track, you’ve earned a well-deserved coffee, which you can grab at The General Store Norah Head, located next to the carpark.
