Manly Beach is a beach located on the North Shore of Sydney, in Australia. For its size, it usually refers to the beach between dividing it into sections, which, running from north to south are Queenscliff, North Steyne and South Steyne. You can get to Manly Beach by taking a ferry from the main terminal of Sydney, Circular Quay, which takes about 30 minutes to get here and it costs $ 14 Australian. To go somewhere else the distance is much more and besides you won’t enjoy the cosmopolitan Sydney. The ferry is a wonderful opportunity to see the beach from another angle, both outward and return journeys. While on the ferry you can also see from another angle the beautiful bay of Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Another option is to take “The Course“, a square and a pedestrian street that slides on the beach and beyond. Along the promenade of shops and restaurants, there is always a race from the countless tourists being there and the real reason of the race so far is of course the beach and the sea! As often happens in Australia, there are always many surfers waiting to catch the wave and so many people who are here to watch the surfers (including muscles: D). There are also many sunbathers.
But if you are one of those who can not stand still and relax on the beach, there is always the opportunity to get up to Shelly Beach, known for its lush flora and XL lizards.
