Beaches: Manly beach

with its famed surf beach, Norfolk Pine lined promenade has a totally different ambience to the rest of Sydney. Whether strolling along the Corso, browsing in the shops or enjoying a relaxing swim at either the ocean surf or harbour beaches, Manly is an ideal holiday destination.

Manly is also the start of Sydney's renowned Northern surf beaches. From here you can travel to beaches such as North Steyne, Queenscliff, Dee Why, Curl Curl and Freshwater, with many more along the way to Palm Beach.

    1.Catch the ferry from circular quay to Manly, you will see our wonderful harbour and experience the magic of Sydney. Walk up the corso to Manly Beach . Its a WOW factor. Whilst there walk right along promanade to Shelley Beach very sheltered from winds and extremely safe to swim. Have fish and chips on the beach and watch the surfers riding the waves.
    2.Catch bus from Circular Quay to Bondi Beach. Do the coastal walk to Coogee Beach, the scenery is fab!! Ask any local and they will tell you where the walk begins.
    3. Climb the Harbour Bridge.You must book in adavnce.Hotel will advice you.

    Beaches: Ferry trip to Manly Beach
    Board a ferry at Circular Quay, and enjoy the 30 minute trip to Manly wharf. You will pass the sites of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and all the suburbs sprinkled along the eastern part of the harbour.

    Once at Manly, it's a short 5 to 10 minute walk to Manly Beach. It's a nice day out. There are plenty of restaurants at Manly to satisfy your taste buds, and you can enjoy a swim or just enjoy the view out to sea.

    Beaches: Manly beach
    Catch a ferry to Manly beach in the early evening, go for a walk along the beach (and/or a swim), have dinner in one of the beachfront cafes, then catch a ferry back to town when it is dark to get a good view of the city from the harbour at night! Much cheaper than an evening cruise and worth it to see the harbour bridge, Opera house etc. all lit up.

    Beaches: Manly: away from the big city
    Manly is completely different than downtown Sydney. When you'e on the main beach you look out on the open sea and don't have the slightest impression that you're so close to a metropole.

    The boulevard along the beach is a great spot for a stroll, a run or some practice with your inline skates. The beach itself is full of surfers trying to show off their best tricks on the waves.

    All in all a good place to go, especially if you wanna get away from the city.

    Beaches: Manly
    Manly offers great views of the bay & ocean. It is filled with shops & restaurants & is easy to reach by ferry. It is one of the busier beach areas & has much to offer.

    Beaches: Bondi Beach
    The answer to the previous question is Bondi Beach and it was taken in 2004 would you believe. When I saw Bondi it reminded me of a beach scene for like the 60's or 70's in Ireland ! Ok so its not cold but the absence of any beach umberellas and loungers while probably a good thing, is like a throw back to a bygone era of going to the beach with just your towel, bucket and spade and probably if you live in Ireland or the UK a wind jammer to stop being sand blasted or frozen to death by the chilly breeze !! However the real atractin of Bondi is when you get down to the beach itself and you experience the surf that you know why its so famous. Its great to watch skilled surfers on the right hand side of the bay surfing the waves. I expected Bondi to be full of muscle bound body beautiful types and while of course they are there they do not dominate the beach and it really is a place full of all shapes and sizes which is great for the more self conscious bathers !
