storyofsavannah — Circular Quay

The ultimate Manly itinerary ↓🇦🇺 ⛴ Start with the ferry Even getting here is part of the experience. The Circular Quay → Manly ferry is one of the most scenic public transport rides in the world. 🥐 Gluten free pastry stop Grab a sweet treat from @wholegreenbakery and stroll the Corso. If it’s the weekend, the Manly Markets run along here too - perfect for browsing unique pieces and supporting small businesses. ☕️ Grab an iced latte at @thebowermanly. Not only amazing coffee, but it’s right next to Fairy Bower Ocean Pool - my favourite swim spot on the Northern Beaches. 🌿 Cabbage Tree Bay coastal walk This whole area is a protected aquatic reserve. Follow the path to Shelly Beach - tropical, crystal clear water and the BEST snorkelling. We’ve seen so many fish and stingrays… still waiting on that turtle. 🥗 Picnic or bushwalk There’s a lush walking trail above Shelly or space to picnic - just guard your food from the bush turkeys. Water dragons often make an appearance too. 🏄‍♀️ Back to Manly Beach Rent a board and try surfing, or swim in the netted harbour pool near the wharf if you prefer calmer water. 🍹 Happy hour + dinner at @espymanly is my hidden gem - recently refurbished, usually quieter than the main strip with a great happy hour and the views are amazing. 🌅 Sunset at East Cove End the day watching the sun go down before hopping back on the ferry. #ManlySydney #NorthernBeaches #SydneyItinerary #ManlyItinerary #Manly @hellomanlyofficial
