Beach time
Pop down to the hidden gem just a 3 minute walk from your home….don’t forget your beach towel, snorkel and mask and some loose change for an ice-cream from our very own local ice-cream boat (visits multiple times a day). He does accept card if you don’t have cash! There are local facilities (toilets, outdoor showers) next to the beach.

Head to where all the action happens – Manly Beach! The walk from the apartment is about 20 minutes…simply head towards the Wharf and then cross-over to walk down the Corso. On the Corso you will find huge number of shops, pubs, eateries and cafés to spend your day, or keep walking to the end to go for a swim or a surf on Manly beach. If you are swimming, please remember to swim in between the flags as this is the lifesaver patrolled area. There are normally placed at the southern end of the beach (by Manly Surf Club).

For the best spot for snorkelling a little further away than Fairlight beach, head to Shelly beach (about a 30 minute walk from the apartment alongside the magnificent Cabbage Tree Aquatic Park). There is also parking (pay by the hour) available nearby.
Right next to Shelly Beach is the Boathouse….which is a great spot for breakfast and people watching after a swim.

For the ultimate view back towards the city (and a great spot to watch sun down), head up to North Head. There are extensive walking / cycle tracks in the Sanctuary, and there are frequent buses from Manly that will take you up there. There are also sign-posted walks up there, which will take you through some of the history of the battlements that are spread throughout the Sanctuary.

For a perfect location for a sundowner, you can’t beat Manly Skiff Club with great food and its huge outdoor terrace over the water. This is a true ‘locals’ spot, so make sure you take your ‘out-of-town’ drivers licence to get access (locals are required to be members to access the club).
