Continue straight: From the Gun Emplacements and ‘Fortifications 1854’
[62] sign, this walk heads uphill along the footpath, away from the lighthouse. The path passes the second fortification
[63] then an overgrown third fortification
[64] as the path bends to the right
[65]. The path then heads down and crosses the old road
[66], following the path down the hill and soon comes to timber boardwalk, a four-way intersection and a large ‘South Head Heritage Trail’ sign
[67] on your right.
Turn left: From the intersection, this walk heads directly away from the face of the ‘South Head Heritage Trail’ sign
[68] along the timber boardwalk
[69] and down a series of steps. The timber boardwalk soon leads to a fenced lookout with a view over Lady Bay
[70].
Continue straight: From Lady Bay Lookout, this walk heads down the steps
[71] next to the lookout and follows the footpath alongside the large fence
[72]. The path heads up a series of steps to the signposted intersection above ‘Lady Bay Beach’
[73].
Continue straight: From the intersection, this walk heads gently uphill along the footpath (keeping the water to the right) and after ≈60m, the path comes to the end of an old road. This walk continues along the old road, past the garage bins
[74] and the large toilet block (on your left)
[75]. The walk now follows the road as it leads around a sweeping left-hand bend, enjoying more harbour views until turning right onto a footpath, near a palm tree (just before the road meets a large fence). The walk heads down this path and some steps to find a disused cannon
[76], gun emplacement and more great harbour views
[77].
Continue straight: From the cannon, this walk heads down along the wide, cobbled sandstone path
[78] (keeping the water views to your right). The walk then follows the footpath gently downhill to an intersection
[79][80] (with a toilet block on the left). The walk heads straight, then down the steps and across the beach to the front of the Camp Cove Beach Kiosk
[81].
Veer left: From the northern end of Camp Cove Beach, this walk heads up the concrete path next to the kiosk
[82] to find the end of Cliff St. The walk follows the road past the ‘Camp Cove timeline’ information sign
[83] to an intersection with Victoria St and the signposted ‘Camp Cove Car Park
[84].
