West Head Lookout

Lookout · Terrey Hills

Lookout at the end of West Head Road, inside the national park, with sweeping views over Pittwater to Barrenjoey Headland and across Broken Bay. One of the great views in Sydney, and walking tracks nearby lead to Aboriginal rock art and engravings.

Sunset is the best time for the view. There is a $12 vehicle entry fee for the park, and the gates close at sunset, so do not linger too long after the light goes.
