Manly Beach

Isabella Moore/Lonely Planet

People on Manly Beach. Sydney, Australia.

Sydney's second most famous beach is a magnificent strand that stretches for nearly two golden kilometers, lined by Norfolk Island pines and midrise apartment blocks. The southern end of the beach, nearest the Corso, is known as South Steyne, with North Steyne in the center and Queenscliff at the northern end; each has its own surf lifesaving club.
