About Ferguson Point

The City describes a wartime artillery-battery history at Ferguson Point and identifies the Teahouse building as a former garrison. The beach setting and upper headland offer different experiences: a shoreline stop, a viewpoint pause or a meal. Do not treat them as one flat site.

Finding the right arrival point

Use a destination-specific search for Ferguson Point or the Teahouse. For a beach-led visit, consult Third Beach and its parking instead. A walking connection between levels can add effort, particularly when returning uphill after a meal or sunset.

What to check before visiting

Check current closures before depending on a coastal approach. Choose daylight for a first visit if you need to judge slopes and surfaces. Restaurant service, concession service and access to outdoor paths have separate operating arrangements.

Combine this stop with nearby places

Combine a short stop with the Teahouse if you have a reservation, or plan beach time and a seasonal snack. If the group prefers less walking, choose one level as the main outing and keep the other as an optional extra.

Sources and current information

Check current operating details with the responsible operator. A source-review date does not claim an on-site visit; older route references do not establish current access.
