Northern Beaches - Palm Beach Loop Walk to Barrenjoey Lighthouse

A spectacular Palm Beach Adventure walk, hiking from Palm Beach Wharf to the top of Palm Beach, visiting the Secret Garden & continuing on to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, returning along Pittwater.

Bring your lunch as we will stop after a big hike up the mountain, leaving Pittwater behind, counting hundreds of steps by the time you get to the top & entering the unexpected Secret Garden to eat your own lunch & enjoy some of the best views you will see on the Northern Beaches looking out to the Pacific Ocean and Central Coast including Lion Island & the Lighthouse, which will be our next mission.

We walk down towards the ocean coastline through a small rainforest and through Summer Bay from the Famous show "Home & Away". If you like watching the soapie, many of the places you see on the show, you will see on our walk. We get to our 2nd climb, up the old narrow track, straight up the south side of the headland, all the way to the Barrenjoey Lighthouse. There are some smaller tracks to do once on top of the sandstone plateau. This is also one of the Best Spots to look for whales as we will be overlooking Pittwater, the Hawkesbury River & Pacific Ocean all at once & this is the time of the year, when the whales head north to have their Bambino's. You may choose to wait patiently for a sunset or continue down the main track with the group.

Before it gets too dark, we will continue moving down the main track and along the edge of Pittwater back to our starting point. From here there will be an optional dinner & live music, just around the corner, if you would like to join in for a meal. Please advise if you are keen on an Optional Dinner & Live Music as they will have a small limit on numbers around 10 people. We will also visit the Famous Rocky the Big Pig, yes a Real Pig.
