Tips

February 20, 2026

Manly Wharf is a busy harbourfront hub where ferries arrive and depart, linking the Northern Beaches with central Sydney. First built in 1855 and rebuilt between 1939 and 1941, the heritage‑listed wharf now combines its historic role as a transport terminal with an expansive promenade of cafés, shops, and open views across the water. It marks both the start and finish of the famous Manly ferry journey, anchoring the town’s connection between the harbour and nearby ocean beaches.

Hiking

I walked from Spit Bridge to Manly. Beautiful. Then I added the North Head Circuit via Blue Fish Track. Sensational views. And then I took the ferry back from Manly to Circular Quay. It can be done as a beautiful and varied day trip. Returning by ferry to downtown at dusk is awesome.
