One of my favourite walks in Sydney is the Manly Scenic Walk. I've done it several times, but this was the first time I took the detour to Grotto Point Lighthouse—and I'm so glad I did. Tucked away on a rocky headland inside Sydney Harbour National Park, this charming little lighthouse has been guiding vessels since 1911. Unlike the towering ocean lighthouses that stand against crashing waves, Grotto Point is a compact harbour light, built to safely direct ships as they navigate one of the world's great natural harbours.
The lighthouse itself is delightful, but it's the setting that really won me over. The short walk to the headland passes through beautiful bushland before opening onto sweeping views across Sydney Harbour, with the city skyline, Middle Head and the harbour's busy shipping lanes all on display. It's a peaceful spot to stop, take in the scenery and appreciate the quiet role this little lighthouse has played for well over a century. It was a wonderful discovery and one I'll definitely return to on future walks.
