Manly Cove Beach - Manly (NSW)

5 /5 Niki Vasiliadis: This is a great beach for swimming as it’s a cove, it’s a lot calmer than the surf beach in Manly. The beach is netted. Right next to Manly Wharf is easily accessible via ferry. There are plenty of trees along the concourse and also a grassy area provided shade. The beach doesn’t have shade so bring your own to stay protected out of the sun. Very gentle waves lapping the shore. Beach is accessible via stairs. Plenty of eating options nearby and also public toilets.

5 /5 Chris Abbott: Great Beach area running from the wharf down to the Manly Surf n Slide. West Manly Cove beach on West Esplanade is a very family friendly beach as the kids can play away in the pool. The western end up near Manly Pavilion is quite protected from the wind when there is a southerly coming through. Quite a few tourists get off the Manly Ferry and think that this is Manly Beach. #letsguide #manlycove #manly #sydneyharbour #sydney

3 /5 Frank Calcara: Lovely little beach with netted area for the little ones which gives you the sense of beening miles from anywhere but your actually at the doorstep of and up tempo city with the Manly ferry, taxi stand and all the buses at your finger tips with 50meters and then an amazing array of shops, cafes and restaurants. if only parking your car would be easier Manly would be my Number 1 beach to go to. However Australia is blessed with pocket of beaches like thid so that takes it down a bit. what it does have once a year is Sydney harbour challenge and bridge2beach which is a true spectacular that brings competitor from all over Australia and also brunging the best International crew.

5 /5 Dereta Lennon: Beautiful spot to relax and swim. Plenty of shade options and a steep grassy bank which gives you a good view of the beach. Lots of picnic benches and other seating to choose from. Good amenities and food options nearby. Only a short walk through the mall to get to Manly surf beach.
