One of Sydney’s most sought-after beachside addresses, Manly is just half an hour from the CBD via a scenic ferry ride. It really is a self-sufficient beach outpost, with a burgeoning coffee culture, and its own nightlife and restaurant scene. Surfing is big, obviously, but kicking back is just as popular.

• Take the Manly Ferry to Circular Quay and back, even if you don’t need to visit the CBD. The trip through the harbour past the Opera House is one of the most scenic ferry trips in the world.

• If you’re looking for a stylish meal you can’t go past Papi Chulo: great food and amazing cocktails in a beautiful interior.

• 4 Pines Brewery, across the road from the ferry wharf, is a great spot for a drink on a hot day. Try the Brookvale Union ginger beer for something different and refreshing.

• The Showbox café is only a block and a half down Whistler St, and is a favourite with locals for its great coffee.

• The Manly to Spit walk is a favourite with outdoorsy Sydneysiders. Ten kilometres long, it takes in stunning ocean views and secret harbour beaches. You won’t believe you’re in a city of five million people (especially if you spot a fairy penguin).

The ferry leaves for the city every half hour from Manly Wharf. Buses to Chatswood, Waringah the Northern Beaches leave from Manly Oval.

We highly recommend using ride sharing service Uber.
