Norah Head Lighthouse

We came here at night, after driving pass and seeing the huge beams of light passing by. The lighthouse was a beauty to look at, and it was amazing to see it in action at night, illuminating the majority of the beach. We were also able to see the lights of the ships in the distance, and saw some lovely scenery of the beaches below. They had guided tours for the inside of the lighthouse, which we didn't go, but it looked interesting. I would recommend going at night to see it in action, and we enjoyed the history lessons on plaques. Loved the experience!

It's a stunning place to visit, and don't miss out on the lighthouse tour. The team there is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They charge $10 per person. The beach is the best part with crystal clear water.

Had such a lovely time here!! Got there at about 10:30am and went in for a guided tour. Our tour guide was so lovely and knew so much about the lighthouse. It was such a nice experience and would definitely recommend going and learning about the place. All the volunteers were lovely and the view was great even in the cold weather!!

Great lighthouse and location, the grounds around it are always clean, walking track down to the beach and views are also spectacular. Plenty of seating areas and lookouts.

The also hold a tour of the lighthouse, you can walk up to the top and learn about the history of it all for about $10 - $15
Takes about 20 minutes but worth doing if you are there

This is no doubt a best highlight of our trip to Central Coast. It's a perfect place to chill out.

We went once and then went back again the next day. The following day was more of a picnic to enjoy the rock pool and beach and enjoy the coastal and rock walk.

This place has a number of benches to enjoy the meal. I must say benches were spotless cleaned.

The place was nice busy with ample parking spaces. No booking is required as this place is walk-in for public.

Light house is mesmerising. I used to use it as a navigation way point during my sea time onboard commercial and passenger ships.

The place gives you a very warm feeling inside which only sailor can understand.

Love this place ❤.

You all enjoy your time there.

It is always great when you can get a tour inside and climb up. It is a nice tour with some information about the development and history of the lighthouse. Our guide, Tanya, was friendly and knowledgeable giving detailed explanations and was great with the kids.
There are 96 steps to get to the top, so be prepared. Shorter kids, under 125cm, are not allowed out on to the balcony at the top.
The view along the coast is pretty spectacular and well worth ($10 for adults amd $5 for kids, shorter kids are free) the ticket price.
Make the time if you are in the area.
The surrounds are picturesque, there is access down to the beach (more steps) and a little gift shop over near the toilet block.
There is easy access to the carpark, or take a walk along the bush track leading from Norah Head Beach Haus cafe.
Parking is free but can get busy.

Beautiful spot to watch the sunrise or sunset, with views of the ocean almost 360°.
The local wildlife is bountiful and the plants are lush.
The views are beautiful and the surrounding nature walks are stunning, with a walking track up the hill.
Great lighthouse tour, the local tour guides are amazing and 10/10 would recommend.

We had an informative tour guide, it was short and sweet. Walked up 96 stairs, 3 sublevels and the outside view from the top was spectacular. Totally recommend. For our family of 8 we were given a discount and paid $40 for a wholesome experience.
Would definitely go back again.

Been here many times. One of the best lighthouse.

There are guided tours during the daytime. You can go up to the top.

Outside of the lighthouse is very beautiful. There is a staircase leading down to the beautiful rocks. where you can walk on.

There are plenty of parking area approx 3mins walk from the lighthouse. The walk is flat.

There are some toilet facilities near the accomodations. But these may be closed at certain times.

Beautiful lighthouse! We went at night and in the afternoon. The tour is so worth it. It is open from around 11am till 3pm and highly recommended. Julie was our guide today and was fantastic! So knowledgeable and interested.

Nice lighthouse surrounded by accessible rocks via stairs down the cliff edge. Open grass spaces around the lighthouse to allow for a break or picnic, plenty of lookout spots and things to see

Great light house and the tour. It's worth it. You get a majestic view of the beautiful nature in the surroundings. The guide was good giving us information about the olden day light house management and details.
There might be a slight wait time. The place has an ice cream shop and some collectibles nearby.

The tour of the light house was well worth it, Keith was a fabulous tour guide so knowledgeable on lighthouses of Australia and also of the surrounding areas. Gorgeous view from the lighthouse also!!

A very cool sight ! The light house was beautiful and the surrounding water and the beach were so natural and refreshing. No wonder there were many school children groups coming in for the excursions. It was a wonderful photo shoot place in front of the light house, observatory deck and on the rocks in front of the cool waves. There were also easy short walking tracks to the lake which was also a great discovery.

Great view from the top. Jeff was our guide and did a great job telling us the history of the Light house.

Always love visiting here, exploring the beach & rocks. Watching people fish. Being a photographer it's one of my most visited places.

This place is stunning more so for a sunrise than an sunset as it is along the east coast of Central Coast. I believe you can see whales even during midday. Enjoy the photos and videos I have taken :)

Beautiful and serene spot to listen to the waves from the top and then go down to the beach to watch the waves spurting out from between the flat rocks. The tour allows you to go to the top of the lighthouse and gives you an interesting perspective about how things used to be done in the lighthouse more than 100 years ago. Geoff was a fantastic tour guide. Tip: book accommodation at the rustic lighthouse keeper cottage for an overnight stay to take in the experience. Avoid wedding/ band days for the stays

If you like to walk along the seaside and you will enjoy it here.

A great place to visit, you can go on the lighthouse tour or walk down to the sand and rocky shore to enjoy the natural landscape and explore the beach. The view from the lighthouse is amazing as are the views surrounding the lighthouse. Highly recommended, worth a visit!
