Soldiers Beach

“Norah Head Lighthouse was built from 1901 to 1903. Perched on a headland, the lighthouse takes in magnificent ocean vistas and is the Central Coast's most spectacular icon. A walking track skirts around the side of the lighthouse and leads to stairs which climb down to the rock platform below and to Lighthouse Beach. Norah Head Lighthouse celebrated its Centenary on 15 November 2003. Apart from the electrification of the light, few changes have been made to the lighthouse since it was established. Buildings on the headland comprise the Lighthouse, Flag Locker, Head Keepers Quarters and the first and second assistant lightkeeper's quarters as well as stables.”

“The Springs is approx. 20 minutes drive from Spencer and features a bistro and bar. Eat at the Sitting Duck bistro (open Friday, Saturday + Sunday). Drink at the Duck Inn (open Wednesday to Sunday).”

“Great family atmosphere and menu with stunning views. Try foot golf fun! Then head upstairs for a beer or cider on tap.”

“Short Walks, great ocean view, Frasers Beach (patrolled in School Holidays)”

“The coastal walk from Bateau Bay Beach to Crackneck Point and beyond, is my favourite coastal path. Depending on the time of the year, you can see Spring Flowers (the flannel flowers are numerous) or watch the whale migration. If you are not interested in walking, collect some picnic items together and enjoy lunch overlooking the ocean.”
