Fodor's Expert Review Point Perpendicular Lighthouse

This modest white lighthouse may be decommissioned but its scenic approach, winding through natural scrub and a spattering of colorful wildflowers, and unrivalled views and whale-watching on Jervis Bay make it a must visit if you are nearby. Built in 1898 with a concrete-block construction that was a first at the time, Point Perpendicular Lighthouse was a working lighthouse until 1993. The best time to visit is at sunrise when the skies swirl with purples and pinks. You'll often see dolphins playing in the waters below the dramatic cliff’s edge.
