Manly is a bustling beachside suburb on Sydney's Northern Beaches accessible by a scenic 30-minute ferry from Circular Quay, featuring a three-kilometre patrolled beach famous for hosting the world's first surfing contest in 1964. Visitors can swim and surf on the main beach, snorkel at Shelly Beach, explore the Norfolk Island pine-lined promenade, walk the 10km Spit Bridge trail, and dine at oceanfront restaurants and cafes.
