Manly Wharf

Highlight • Beach

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.

Curl Curl Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

Curl Curl Lagoon is a coastal lagoon system sitting just behind the beach, with a mix of calm water, reeds, and sandy edges. The lagoon connects to the ocean at times, depending on tides and rainfall, creating changing water levels and conditions. Paths run alongside sections of the water, with birdlife commonly seen around the edges and quieter, more sheltered surroundings compared to the open coastline.
