Manly Ferry and Sydney Harbour
Manly
Manly is one of the few Sydney suburbs that have access to not only Sydney Harbour but the sea as well. So there are not only harbour beaches here but three ocean beaches with waves as well as one without (Shelly Beach)!
So Manly, not only a great place to spend the day on one or more of its scenic walks, there are also a number of excellent restaurants here to end your day, or even a pub or two to have a family style meal.

Sydney Harbour
As Sydney grew into a city, the harbour played a key role. Yet, it has kept its beauty, there are those who say it is the most beautiful city harbour in the world. I would tend to agree. The parks line the foreshores and include the islands.
