Manly is another famous beach in Sydney and is on par with Bondi. Facing the Tasman
Sea, the long white beach is suitable for swimming, surfing, diving, snorkelling and

to exercise. Close to the Manly Wharf is the Oceanworld Manly, exhibiting more than
just sharks and turtles, and is a place for the whole family.
