South Head is one of the numerous headlands that stretch into Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) from Sydney. South Head is home to HMAS Watson, and there is a public footpath which allows access around the cliff tops and the headland. The Hornby Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouse in Australia, stands here looking out to sea. From here the coastline heads south towards Diamond Bay and Bondi Beach. To the west lies the inner parts of Sydney Harbour and all the famous landmarks.

Leisure cruise ships often pass under the spectacular cliffs of South Head, stopping sometimes at either Lady Bay or Camp Cove on the way. Both of these have sandy beaches. From here it is possible to see over to North Head and part of the coastline around Manly on a clear day.

Bus: From Circular Quay or Bondi Beach.
