A Beach Crawl Around Manly
-
Morning
Pack the bare essentials and catch the ferry to Manly Wharf. Cross The Esplanade and follow The Corso down to Manly Beach . After paying homage to William Gocher (see Manly Beach), head south and follow the path around to Cabbage Tree Bay, where you’ll find the delightful Fairy Bower rockpool and Shelly Beach (see Manly), both of which are perfect for children. Then extract your credit card and enjoy lunch at the classy Le Kiosk , voted the most romantic restaurant on the East Coast by the New York Times.
Afternoon
Leave the beach via Bower Street and follow this around to College Street, past the million-dollar mansions overlooking Manly Beach. Turn right into Reddall Street, left into Addison Road, and left again into Darley Road. Head uphill and take a peek over the stone walls at the Former St Patrick’s Seminary . Continue past the hospital and take the right fork leading into Sydney Harbour National Park . Pass beneath the sandstone arch and take Collins Beach Road on your right. This wends down through a lovely shaded gully to the Police College. A small path on your right leads to the secluded Collins Beach , one of Sydney’s hidden secrets. A path at the end of the beach leads to Stuart Street, which takes you back to Manly.
