2. Green Point Reserve

Green Point and its near neighbour Camp Cove can be combined on a short and very satisfying walk from Watson's Bay wharf. The walk firstly takes you down a couple of streets of beautifully restored 19th century cottages - now each worth millions, I'm sure. At Green Point, which in itself is a fairly unremarkable bump of a headland, you are rewarded with fantastic views of Sydney Harbour, with the CBD skyline visible in the distance. It seemed popular with spearfishermen when we visited. Just beyond Green Point is Camp Cove, a small harbour beach and a truly delightful stretch of sand. The area has a couple of important monuments, one commemorating Captain Arthur Phillip's first landfall in Sydney Harbour (then Port Jackson in 1788) and the other as the southern end of the anti-submarine boom net that stretched across the harbour during WWII.

The walk is pretty easy with lots of stairs. You cannot go through the navy base though and have to fill streets to the lighthouse. Great viewing play forms for photos.
4. South Head Heritage Trail

Reviewed By mrteenee - Sydney, Australia
I have done this walk at least 15 times, easy to drive to and park, walk across the sand (near the kiosk) up the walk way and an easy walk out past the nudie beach to the headland walk which is a loop. There are the battlements, canon, lighthouse, the heads and then back to the view out to Manly then down the harbour back to the city. Best easy morning or sunset. Sometimes it gets a bit hazy from lunch to late arvo (but not always) - and it is still worth the walk.
5. Hornby Lighthouse

Reviewed By VarunChandra - Omaha, United States
what a view once you take the small hike up to Hornby lighthouse... on the way, you will pass the Lady Moon beach.. you can also see concrete structures which once housed canons or anti aircraft batteries to defend the Sydney Harbour area from any incoming ships...
6. The Gap Lookout
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
Reviewed By JElliot32 - New South Wales, Australia
The outlooks from The Gap are just fantastic, with the sandstone plateau on which Sydney lies ending abruptly, with high, near-vertical cliffs that end in a jumble of broken boulders and pounding surf about 40 metres below. The location has long had the unfortunate reputation as the place where many anguished Sydneysiders go to end it all. No doubt, the cliffs here are treacherous and are now fenced off to keep visitors from straying too close to the end. The lookout is an easy stroll from the Watsons Bay ferry wharf and you will also pass by if you are doing walk between Watsons Bay andBondi.

Grab some take away fish and chips from the wharf and sit under one of the giant fig trees in the park and enjoy the view. Top spot highly recommended. Only issue is lack of parking.
