Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve

Highlight • Beach

Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve protects the clear waters between Manly Beach and Shelly Beach and is one of Sydney’s best spots to see marine life close to shore. Fishing is prohibited here, allowing fish populations to thrive, and snorkelers often spot blue gropers, rays, and large schools of fish in the calm bay. A popular underwater nature trail with information plaques sits just offshore near Shelly Beach. Even from the coastal path above, the protected bay’s clear water often reveals fish swimming below.

Manly Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach was named by Captain Arthur Phillip after the Aboriginal people who lived there. He wrote: “Their self-reliance and manly behaviour made me give this place the name of Manly Cove.”
