3. Manly Beach
This classic northern beach’s motto is: Five miles from the city, a million miles from care. Hop the F1 ferry from Circular Quay for a 30 minute scenic ride to this suburb. Enjoy the view of the bridge, opera house and cityscape as you head to this popular beach. It’s good for diving, snorkeling and people watching. Stroll around the corner to Shelly Beach if Manly is too crowded.
4. Bondi Beach
Love it or not, no list of Sydney beaches can exclude the famous Bondi strip. It’s a 100 m wide, 1 km long fashionable but friendly surfer hang out popular with both tourists and locals. There are plenty of places to eat, drink and be merry around here. This southern beach is fun for a swim, surf or stroll along the beachfront promenade. Come to Bondi if you like the hubbub of a crowd.
