    Hiking

    Manly Beach is one of Australia's most famous surfing beaches—home to the first World Surfing Championships in 1964. With its tree-lined promenade and long stretch of fine, soft sand, it's a popular destination for backpackers and families.

    For a great day trip, take a ferry from Circular Quay, near the Sydney Opera House, and cross Sydney Harbour toward Manly Wharf (30 minutes). From the wharf, walk to The Corso, a lively shopping and pedestrian promenade that leads to Manly Beach.

    Hiking

    If you wish to follow physical distancing guidelines try to walk or ride the Manly to Shelley Beach pathway during the week. Weekends are crowded.
    Also along the Manly beachfront, if walking take the pathway next to the retaining wall instead of the shared walking/cycle path and give cyclists plenty of space.
    The former monastery gardens are worth the walk and provide scenic coastal views - a former PM once trained here.
