Flagstaff Point Lighthouse (Wollongong Head)

This is such a pretty spot in Wollongong. The view is spectacular and is just a short walk from Wollongong Harbour. On a clear day like the day I was there, it’s stunning. This is definitely worth a visit, I don’t see how you can be disappointed.

Cute place to park the car, walk around, and have a picnic. Few of the water is pretty- especially a good spot for sunrise and sunset. Loved grabbing a book to sit around or taking a jog here. But can be super windy

Beautiful place to visit, super relaxing place if you want to have some time off from city life.
Lovely!!

I do love a good Lighthouse. This one was an unmanned lighthouse. Beautiful outlook on the hill. Not to busy.
Parking close by.

The Flagstaff Point Lighthouse in Wollongong is an absolute gem of a landmark that is not to be missed. Perched atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the stunning Wollongong coastline, this lighthouse is a true masterpiece of engineering and design.

As you make your way up the winding path to the lighthouse, you'll be struck by the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean stretch out before you, while the sound of waves crashing against the rocks below creates a soothing and calming atmosphere.

Once you reach the top, the views are simply breathtaking. The panoramic vistas of the ocean, the city, and the surrounding hills and cliffs are simply stunning. You'll feel like you're on top of the world, taking in the natural beauty of Wollongong from a bird's-eye view.

The lighthouse itself is a marvel of engineering and design. Built in the late 1800s, it is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the engineers and workers who built it. The lighthouse's bright white exterior and red roof stand out against the blue sky and sea, making it a striking and unforgettable sight.

Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful and serene place to relax and unwind, the Flagstaff Point Lighthouse is an absolute must-visit. It's a true gem of Wollongong that will leave you feeling inspired and rejuvenated.

Beautiful view, fresh and chill air during a sunny summer day. Bring your umbrella, beach towel to just sit there, lie down and relax on the shade of the lighthouse.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy the views from lookout point. The picturesque views of the ocean and Wollongong from the top of the lighthouse are breathtaking. The Flagstaff Point Lighthouse is a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience the beauty and history of the coastal town of Wollongong.

Come here during lunch time and enjoy the beauty of the Wollongong. No fees, it's all free.

We had a stopover here before heading to Canberra. Great place with great views!!It was definitely worth the stopover!

Nice place. Good view. Lots of parking

Didn’t expect the view to be this beautiful as the lighthouse isn’t located that high. Then the surroundings turned out spectacular. Be careful with the seagulls though as they wouldn’t be nice guys

We visited Wollongong for lunch and a look around. A lovely scenic view of the beach and rocks

Beautiful place to visit, super relaxing place if you want to have some time off from city life and want some peace do visit this place..

Wollongong, Australia boasts a unique coastal feature: two lighthouses. The Breakwater lighthouse, though inactive since 1974, stands 40 feet tall with a tapered wrought iron tower and lantern. Contrastingly, the Flagstaff Hill lighthouse remains active and is characterized by its all-white structure. Nestled on Wollongong Harbour's Flagstaff Hill, the location holds historical significance as a point Captain James Cook passed in 1770. The serene atmosphere and tourist-friendly appeal make it a must-visit spot. The juxtaposition of the two lighthouses and the rich historical narrative add to the charm of this peaceful destination.

I live in Wollongong and never feel bored visiting this place and almost come everyday.
A lot of parking space and few restaurants are also available to get some good food.
Public toilets are available at walking distance.
You will get to see spectacular views of Wollongong beach.
Highly recommend on a sunny day - preferable to witness sunrise.

Nice view surrounding the lighthouse and harbour views

Excellent view point along the coastline with cliff side views. The light house stands tall and adds to the charm and scenic view. The Flagstaff Hill lighthouse is active. The white light spends 4.5 seconds on and 1.5 seconds off. The red lights are displayed over shallow water to the north and south. The entire structure is painted white. It is located at Flagstaff Hill on Wollongong Harbour.

A popular spot for both locals and tourists. Its only a short drive from Wollongong CBD or a stroll along the beach promenade. Great 360 degree views and plenty of parking even on a busy day.

Super good for night dates and star gazing little away from city. Excellent grass to lie on and watch the night sky.
Pro tip: get your mobile stand for awesome night shots of the starry sky

What a beautiful lookout! Perfect weather when I visited as well so extra bonus for me. Heaps of parking when I arrived on a weekday around 1pm. Strong winds here but it shouldn’t deter anyone

A glorious spot looking out over the ocean. It was a rather cold windy day when we were there however it was a beautiful sunny day and the view was amazing.
