Why it's worth checking out
Cape Baily Lighthouse sits along the Cape Baily Track at Kurnell, near Cronulla in Sydney's south, within the Kamay Botany Bay National Park. With 169 reviews behind its 4.3 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a rewarding coastal walk to a lovely landmark — a track winding across the heathland to the Cape Baily Lighthouse, with stunning ocean views, wildflowers and clifftops along the way, a genuine highlight for walkers and nature lovers. It's a beautiful way to experience this stretch of coast.
Coastal tracks and national parks have changing conditions, can be exposed and require care near the cliffs, so wear suitable footwear, take water and check current details before you head out. Otherwise it's a free, spectacular walk to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and take your time.
