Hornby Lighthouse was constructed to help vessels navigate through dangerous waters. Still an important local landmark today, it's bound to have a few stories to tell about sailing triumphs and rescues.

Hornby Lighthouse is an interesting place to begin your discovery of Watsons Bay. This longstanding beacon comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Bondi Beach to really experience what's on offer in the area.
