Manly Lagoon Dog Area
Dogs welcome
Manly Lagoon Dog Area is a calm, wave-free lagoon where dogs can wade and play at any time of day. The still water makes it a good introduction for puppies and nervous dogs — there's no surf to contend with, just gentle lagoon conditions. Note that lagoon water quality can vary, so check recent conditions.

An interesting find that is not that well known in Sydney. Check maps to find the entrance but it is well worth the effort. Approx 10km loop walk in bushland. Lots of wildlife and birds. Some segments challenging for inexperienced walkers. Not suitable for strollers etc. Some picnic facilities and toilet blocks on the southern side of the lake.

Beautiful sight seen, there is a play ground for the kids on both sides.

Not quite as pretty as the beaches but still a pleasant walk. Benches to relax on. Playground for children to play in.
