East Manly Cove Beach
Beach
👍👍 Just 100 metres from Manly Wharf is East Manly Cove Beach with West Manly Cove Beach on the other side of the wharf. It is such a beautiful harbourside beach in Manly. Awesome at Low tide as there is just so much space on the beach to relax. The water quality is the best I have seen it in 30 plus ye...

Little Manly Beach
Beach
👍👍 I love Little Manly Beach. It is a great spot to visit as it is very protected especially when its windy or warm at Manly Beach. The enclosed netted swimming area is great for kids. The Cafe there is a great addition to buy lunch and sit on the grass or sand. There is also some swings for the kids t...

Fairlight Beach
Beach
👍👍 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)

👍👍 This is a quiet little beach, calm and away from the waves. There is parking, toilets, a playground and a little cafe. Plenty of places to sit with shade. One of the best beaches for young families I have ever seen.

Warriewood Beach
Beach
👍 Brilliant surfing beach, with amazing rights off the southern point (and an easy rip to get out). Perfect beach when there is a heavy southerly wind that will make other beaches uncomfortable. There is a fantastic cafe overlooking the bay, and there is a public bathroom on the beach. Parents with...

North Curl Curl Beach
Beach
👍👍 I visited North Curl Curl Beach, and it was a delightful experience. The untouched beauty of this secluded shoreline left me in awe. The golden sands and crystal-clear waters made for a perfect day of sunbathing and swimming. One of the highlights was exploring the natural rock pools that dot the b...

Edwards Beach
Beach
😐 DO NOT eat the sand. I tried a bite or two and it was very harsh on my stomach. The sand a hundred metres south is far better.

Rose Bay Beach
Beach
😐 The beach looks nice, but has two many smelly storm water drains. Look from afar, but not a good place for a swim, as there is definitely sewage mixed in the storm water drains. I swam anyways, the other knock on this beach is that it is shallow for a km out to sea. Just has nothing going for it be...

👍👍 Lovely beach in the balgowlah neighbourhood. Amazing for morning walks, run, and dog walks too. Very calm and peaceful. Has a dedicated swim area which makes it easy and the water is calm and not rough. Great place to host a picnic too.

Castle Rock Beach
Beach
👍👍 Another gorgeous little beach tucked away in the Sydney Harbour. If you want to avoid the crowd, this beach is just perfect. To access the beach, make your way down the walking track (Manly Scenic Walkway) via Ogilvy Rd. It's a descending walk through the bush. We enjoyed the calm water & surroundin...

Washaway Beach
Beach
👍👍 Pretty big beach with lots of room to roam and a huge cave to protect you from the rain and sun!! It's an "unofficial" nude beach which is even better. Definently only for capable walkers, the track down is a bit rough and to get on the beach you have to climb down the cliff face which is safe but a...

Lady Robinsons Beach

👍 Beautiful treasure I've lived relatively close to this beach more than a decade and just discovering this beach for a morning run in the sand. Sharp objects any jelly fish are on the sands so be careful and swim in allocated areas. Would recommend to check it out.
