Nice little beach for swimming and snorkelling. A bit of sea weed and hard rocks on the sides, though the experience is really good. No reserved car park, look for street parking around (most of which is 2P)

A great alternative to Manly Beach. Pretty and quite, without big ocean swells. A fantastic place for children, who could have fun in the pool, or on the beach, and watch the ships going by..

Beautiful beach, with an ocean bath. Need to be early to get parking as parking is on the street.

Great little beach.

A nice little beach with an ocean pool and historic significance. Oh, and penguins. 🏊‍♀️ This is a proper ocean pool (not just nets in the water, which are called 'tidal pools'). 🚻 Toilets on the north side 📒 The wall and pine trees immediately behind the beach are the only remnants of the Fairlight House. It was the 1850's Georgian mansion of Gilbert Smith, the man who basically designed the city of Manly. There's a sign. The mansion was demolished on 1939. 🐧 Yes, penguins! Manly is home to the only colony of penguins in NSW, and these fairy penguins are also the smallest species in the world. They're protected, so dogs must be kept on leashes. You can see them at sunset certain times of the year.

It’s one of our favourite beaches now! kids can play very safely all times. I saw an ice cream boat coming and it surprised me👍 I’ll definitely visit again and again!

The Manly Scenic Walkway is beautiful at 6am.

The walk from Condamine St to Manly wharf is just amazing, breath taking and peaceful. The track is pram and bike friendly. The kids will also love it; atleast my 7yr old did. We were blessed with a stunning rainbow which made it a extra special and worth driving up there. Loved it and recommended.

Scenic views along the spit to Manly walk you encounter Fairlight Beach, which has crystal clear water, rock pools and relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful almost secluded beach. Along the walk complemented with a rock pool on its side.

Nice calm beach and ocean pool- toilets, showers (outside) and sand. What more could you want.

Everyone here is so friendly. Place has a really happy vibe and that infuses people with big smiles, lovely impromptu chats (many cute dogs) and you leave with a real sense of calm and rejuvenation after a swim here.

*****5star looooonf walk, use opal to go to city. Get your swimming gear , couple of good spots don't settle for first one. Move walkfor a bit to fairlight ⛱️ beach ⛱️ with swimming 🏊‍♂️ pool on tge ocean 😎 👌

Great for children and family! Rock pool, shallow and peaceful water, nice people. Toilets on site too.

Love this beach. Quiet, not touristy, beautiful view. Great pool to the side of it.

Amazing place to bring the family been here multiple times weather it be swimming with the kids or diving for kinas highly recommend you try this place

Great beach🙃. It’s secluded but hard to get a park. No waves, just a pool and a area.

Brilliant gem

Beautiful little beach

Toilets showers ocean pool. Good kids swimming spot.

Great kid beach without too much swell. Sand is coarse but nice to lie on with a towel. Plenty of snorkeling, great rock pool and only 20 mins walk from the ferry make this a great spot.

Very private beach. Feel comfortable. But not a spot for surfing.

Beautiful little beach with a beautiful rock shelf to enjoy.

Beautiful little beach which is perfect for snorkelling!

Heaven on earth!

Always a winner

Cute spot with nice snorkeling

My favourite little secluded beach inside Sydney Harbour, amazing views of both North and South Head. Never too busy, has a well maintained tidal pool and toilet/shower facilities. Excellent area for snorkelling and diving. The Manly to Spit walk passes through here.

What is not to like about this lovely little beach?

Beautiful little beach- not crowded- great for little kiddies - no surf

Good for skorkeling
