Sydney - Manly (PDF Chapter)

This is the Manly chapter from Lonely Planet’s Sydney guidebook.

Laid-back Manly clings to a narrow isthmus between ocean and harbour beaches abutting North Head, Sydney Harbour’s northern gatepost. With its shaggy surfers and relaxed locals, it makes for a refreshing change from the stuffier harbour suburbs nearby.

• maps
• hop between headlands and beaches along beautiful Manly Scenic Walkway along the harbour shoreline
• transport
• explore the wild, rugged surrounds of North Head and gasp at the glorious views of the mouth of the harbour
• restaurants & bars
