If you feel like treating yourself, this is my favourite restaurant in Sydney. Just a 15 minute walk away with views across Freshwater Beach this place is seriously special. The food is to die for. Think Sardinian Feast! The suckling pig is a must.

This is the main shopping strip in Manly. It connects Manly Wharf to Manly Beach. Very touristy but you'll find plenty of shopping offerings. My tips is to check out the laneways. That's where the good boutiques/cafes/restaurants hide. Market Lane, Rialto Lane are great!

Walk along the esplanade all the way to Shelly Beach. We love this walk and do it frequently. It's an easy 5km for the return trip. Great for people watching and the scenery is beautiful! Stop by The Boathouse at Shelly Beach for a fabulous Brekky/lunch/coffee/drink at sunset.

Fairlight Beach is a little a harbour inlet so the water is generally much calmer. There is an ocean pool and some grass to sit on. It's a lovely walk to get there too. If you want some exercise, continue along the coastline and you'll eventually join up to the Iconic Manly to Spit Bridge Walk. It's one of the best walks in Sydney.

Great walks and drives through this area. The view from the point is absolutely spectacular. You can see miles and miles of the South Coast as well as the Sydney CBD. Not to be missed.

Sightseeing

Palm Beach is probably our favourite spot in Sydney. It's absolutely stunning with plenty to do - perfect spot for a day trip. For any Home and Away fans, this is where it is filmed. Walk to the lighthouse, play a round of golf or just laze on the beach. Eat at the Palm Beach Boathouse or for something more laid back, try the Chicken Schnitzel and a beer at the Palm Beach RSL. This is where the rich and famous come to chill out. Enjoy.
