Manly Beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful ocean views. On weekends, many people come here for jogging, surfing, and spending quality time with family and friends. The atmosphere is lively, clean, and perfect for enjoying beachside activities like beach volleyball etc.

Manly is a wonderful place to spend a whole day. The beautiful beaches and seaview make me feel relaxed. Hearing the sea waves can drive away my worries. PS. The geleto is yummy and not too expensive.

Manly beach seems quieter than Bondi. There's quite a number of people around and there's plenty of shops and restaurants too. Here, people like to sit down and enjoy the view.

Beautiful, incredible, captivating, very safe, always surrounded by lifeguards! I confess it's the beach I love most at the moment. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀

A short but very scenic ferry ride from Circular Key. You can you use the tap feature on your credit card to tap on and off the ferry. It is a nice walk from the ferry to the beach on a pedestrian street lined with various beach town shops and eateries. The beach is nice although I preferred Bondi.
