Quote: After my 15-hour sleepless flight across the Pacific Ocean, I wisely made Manly Beach my first stop in Sydney. It was so easy to get to. I just walked to Circular Quay, purchased a ticket for the 11:30 ferry and hopped on. The ride was only 30... Read the full Manly Beach review

Quote: As soon as I got off the ferry and began wandering through the Manly area, I was instantly a much bigger fan than I ever was of Bondi. Manly's main street, The Corso, was a cute, artistic street lined with shops, rather than a gaudy, insanely... Read the full Manly Beach review

Manly Beach
Quote: Manly is a beach resort town located across the harbour at a distance of 12km from the Sydney city centre. It's not as famous as Bondi Beach, but apparently it's much quieter. I have never been to Bondi Beach, so I can't compare. Basically it is not... Read the full Manly Beach review

Quote: This is a bit more sedate than Bondi Beach, but equally enjoyable. Manly Beach is easily accessible by ferry from downtown Sydney (catch a ferry at Circular Quay; the ride is about an hour). Manly Beach is a large beach with fine sand and a good... Read the full Manly Beach review

Quote: Nearby Bondi is the FAMOUS surf beach, but everyone told me that they thought Manly was better. A quick ferry ride across the harbor, and now I can say that I share that opinion. Manly is actually 2 beaches. There is a quieter leeward side where... Read the full Manly Beach review
