Manly Beach

It's a very crowded place and can barely find an empty spot on the beach. However water is beautiful and waves are so nice. Surf lifesaving is very good.

To get there, most visitors enjoy a scenic 30-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay, offering breathtaking views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Manly Beach is the ultimate spot to soak up the Australian sun and enjoy the relaxing rhythm of the ocean.

I love manly! I would almost say it’s better than bondi. I love catching the ferry to get to manly, the view never gets old. There lots to do other than just tanning and playing in the water. There are shops and restaurants in the area and you don’t have to walk far. 10/10

One of Sydney’s iconic beaches it was great to visit it during our recent stay. Gee it was busy around both the beach and town area. But that didn’t stop me from venturing in for a little swim and a play in the waves. The waves are huge and I was knocked over twice but that’s part of the fun right. Whilst we sat on the beach we witnessed a surf rescue. Those guys are superb at what they do.

My first trip to an Australian beach was to Manly, and it was amazing! The ferry ride from the city was beautiful, seeing the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the water is something I will never forget. When I arrived, I was so impressed. The sand is so soft and white, and the beach is so long and wide. It's different from the beaches in Phuket or Koh Samui; the vibe here is very active, with so many people surfing! The water was a beautiful clear blue, a little chilly for me, but so refreshing. I loved walking along The Corso, grabbing some fish and chips, and just watching everyone enjoy the sun. It felt so relaxing and happy. Manly Beach has a wonderful, laid-back feeling that is the perfect introduction to the famous Australian beach culture. It’s a day trip I would recommend to any of my friends back home in Thailand!
