West Head Lookout offers some of the widest views in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, looking out over Broken Bay to one side and Pittwater to the other, with Barrenjoey Headland and its lighthouse directly ahead. From here, you can also see across the Hawkesbury River towards Lion Island and the Central Coast, including beaches like Patonga and Umina.
