Having traveled to many beaches throughout the world, I would rank this location number one! It is stunning in every way. It is beautiful, diverse, and welcoming. Make sure you stroll to the south… Full review by 219jeffk

Went during June Winter period so the sea breeze was cold. But it did not stop my kids from playing in the sea water near the beach. Lots of shops there for food and relax. Full review by jermummy

Our favourite beach in all Sydney. As a visitor we visited 5 beaches in all including Bondi. Being able to access this beach by ferry is the icing on the cake. Beautiful sand, safe areas and really c… Full review by 844edwardj
We are going to Australia for 3 weeks and plan to spend a 7-9 days in an around Sydney. Is Manly a good place to base ourselves?

It’s all relatively close if you are happy to travel and it mostly depends on the neighbourhood you want to be in. From Manly you’d mainly be using water taxis or ferries to get to Sydney. But it depends on what you want to do and see. I like walking so stayed in Paddington. From there it was 15 minute walk to the city. The ferry from Manly to Sydney takes about 40 mins to get to Sydney harbour so you’d need to factor that in. The ferry from anywhere towards Sydney at sunset is a beauty. Google is very good for giving accurate distances if that helps?
If staying in Sydney for 3-4 days where is the best place to stay close to beach? Is mainly beach good place to stay?

Manly Beach is an excellent location. In addition to the beach there are some great restaurants and bars and a whole coastline of beaches. The of Sydney is only 30 mins by ferry or 15 mins by fast ferry. Several great walks are around. The tourism office is at the wharf. Also have a beer/meal at the 4 Pines Brewery across from the wharf and or the 16’ Skiff Club.
We'll be visiting Sydney in early Nov, and are considering also staying several days in Manly. What neighborhoods would you recommend for cafes, not overly touristy and near beaches? Also, we would like to kayak. Beach recommendations?

The beauty of Sydney and it’s suburbs, is you can simply walk out of your hotel - and find little communities, neighbourhoods where all the locals are which have great cafes and dining options. It’s safe to say any hotel or Home you stay at - there is something nearby. Plus it’s the fun of exploring. Manly has a great kayak hiring place on its wharf on the esplanade there - which would be a better area to kayak, as Bondi is a surf beach. Enjoying!!
