Manly - Cities, Towns and Localities |

Manly
is one of Sydneys popular tourist destinations, and a visit to
Manly by ferry is one of the enjoyable Sydney experience. Taking
only about 30 minutes, the cruise across Sydney Harbour is a
relaxing way to arrive at Manly Wharf and cosmopolitan Manly.

Once here, you can visit the surf beach on the Pacific Ocean side
and the inner harbour beach on the other, both being popular for
watersports from scuba diving to windsurf and parasail. You can also
take the palm-tree lined Corso, leading onto the promenade and enjoy
the many cafes and restaurants. For the bushwalker there is Manlys Sydney Harbour National Park,
which includes North Head overlooking the harbours entrance, where
there are a number of trails linking the beaches with the national
park.
