Spot majestic whales, walk under a rainforest canopy and visit a heritage-listed lighthouse in Norah Head. This sunny, secluded and laid-back coastal town on the NSW Central Coast is great fun for surfers, beachgoers, mountain bikers and anglers. Found on a picturesque headland and blessed with natural beauty, spectacular views await.
Begin your day of discovery at the Norah Head Lighthouse, one of the last classical-style lighthouses in NSW. Follow the walking track around the iconic landmark, down to the rock platform and Lighthouse Beach below.
Experience the area’s maritime history and stay in the beautifully-renovated heritage Lighthouse Keepers Quarters, waking up to a glorious sunrise and morning ocean swim. The craggy headland on which the lighthouse sits is also a great vantage point for spotting whales on their annual migration between May and November.
Norah Head juts out from the Central Coast and is marvellous for rock fishing. You will also find great beach fishing, with plenty of locations to cast a line along the stunning coastline just north of The Entrance.
