Laid-back Yet Bustling
Tucked away on a small peninsula surrounded by popular surfing beaches and the spectacular bushlands of North Head, Manly is laid back yet bustling. Manly-siders embrace day-trippers and tourists, sharing with them the natural wonders and world-class shopping and dining that define this beachside suburb.
Natural beauty isn't hard to find in the waters of Manly's spectacular Shelly Beach, with its clear waters and diverse marine life making it a popular diving location. Manly is situated on the land of the Guringai people, the traditional owners of this land. Indigenous Australians are part of the oldest surviving continuous culture in the world.
With ready access to the harbour, Sydney's CBD is just a short (and picturesque) ferry ride away — positioning Manly as a relaxed and central location for working professional accustomed to commuting.
