Noted as one of the finest beaches in the Sydney area, Manly Beach is extremely popular amongst tourists and locals alike.

Located on a narrow peninsula and surrounded by water on three sides. Manly provides you with both ocean harbours and beaches. There are but a handful of cities in the world that can provide you with pristine waterfronts and the paradisiacal climate that Sydney offers.

At Manly, you will find a blend of both trendy and casual ways of doing things. Nonetheless, whichever style is yours, everyone at Manly is easygoing, relaxed, friendly and interesting.

You will find both young and old alike at Manly walking the famous pedestrian walk known as ‘the corso.’ This plaza offers shopping and a large variety of places to eat and drink. During weekends and public holidays, an outdoor arts and craft market is held in Sydney Road close to the corso. You will find an abundance of hand crafted items in the market.

As you gently meander down the Manly’s corso, you will see a breath taking and heart stopping ocean view. You will always remember the view of the beach! The white sands, the surf, the huge Norfolk Pines lining the beach are part of what is so distinctive about Manly.

A day at Manly could include swimming in one of the 18 coves, beaches or inlets. Surfing is, of course, another favorite past time for locals. Locals will tell you that some of the best surfing in the area is found right here!

A foot path allows you to walk along the shoreline from South Steyne to Fairy Bower Beach and the quaint cove of Shelly Beach. Locals call this the "Millionaire’s Walk" due to the spectacular views of the ocean and the million dollar homes that dot the hills.

There are many attractions around Manly to keep you occupied such Manly Ocean World, North Head and Manly Wharf. But, should you want to explore other parts of Sydney then there is a ferry you can catch to Circular Quay.
