Smoky Cape Lighthouse

Stunning views along the long coast of Hat Head National Park can be had here at NSW's most elevated lighthouse (1891) at the northern end of the park. It's also a great spot to look for whales during migration season from May to September. It's a short but fairly steep climb up.
