The vibrant and creative cultural hub of the Northern Beaches, Manly Art Gallery and Museum was the first metropolitan-based regional gallery in New South Wales, opening in 1930. The museum has constantly changing exhibitions that are worth a view if you have time while visiting.

Beach Volleyball

You don’t have to be a professional volleyball player to enjoy the nets out on the beach. Get friends and family together and make a day of it and play volleyball on the beach.

Walking Paths

Another way to explore Manly is by getting lost and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the bush tracks and observe the native wildlife. Some of our most spectacular walking trails include:

• North Head Sanctuary

• Cabbage Tree Bay Coastal Walk

• Manly Scenic Walkway

• Manly Eastern Hill Heritage Walk

• Manly Heritages Plaques Walk

• The Heart of Manly Heritage Walk

For more information about the different walking trails, visit www.manly.nsw.gov.au

North Head Sanctuary

Hands down one of the most breathtaking views in Manly. If you are game enough to walk it we recommend the hike but if not, there is a car park right on the cliff where you can enjoy views of the ocean to the Sydney CBD.

Tip: bring along a blanket, some snacks, and a bottle of wine and watch the sun go down.

Snorkelling at Shelley Beach

Another way to explore Manly is to go Snorkelling at Shelly Beach. It is a popular destination for most tourist and locals to snorkel as there are lots of to see. During the winter months, Shelly Beach is home to a school of Dusky Whaler Sharks.

Tip: The most convenient place to begin is Shelly Beach. Follow the reef along the headland or jump in at the boat ramp and swim alongside the walkway.

See the Penguins

You might be lucky enough to spot one of our little penguins living in Manly. The population, in a secluded cove in Sydney's North Harbour, is the only breeding colony on the NSW mainland, with the penguins coming in nightly to nest.

Fairy Bower Pool

Located along Marine Parade is the lovely Fairy Bower Pool. It is a unique triangle shape and the sculptures that sit along the rock edge are known as 'The Sea Nymphs' or 'The Oceanides'.

Every Saturday and Sunday 9:00am – 5:00pm

Located in the laneways of Sydney Road and Market Lane, right in the heart of town, this unique open-air market is one of the top things to do in Manly on weekends.
