Little Manly Beach

Charming little beach just a stone's throw from the main Manly Beach. It was somewhat crowded when we visited, but we managed to find a few parking spots here and there.

Charming little beach with gentle waves, ideal for swimming due to its protected location. It features a boat ramp and a few boats anchored in the water. The sand is clean and soft, and the sea is crystal clear. It's not crowded, making it perfect for a peaceful afternoon of swimming and sunbathing.

I used Google Maps to navigate from North Narrabeen, where I was staying, down to Little Manly Beach via Pittwater Rd. Despite the hectic Saturday morning, the traffic was moving smoothly. I strolled around Little Manly Beach, soaking in the stunning scenery and capturing numerous photos with views extending to Sydney. The parking facilities are adequate and free of charge. Families were enjoying the playground situated above the beach. The area is interspersed with winding paths and seems to be wheelchair accessible. However, I would recommend having a companion to assist on the slightly steeper paths. I was disappointed with the Beach Cafe due to its pricey menu items, a sentiment shared by the lady in front of me. I decided to leave the queue, although other patrons seemed fine with the prices. The beach itself is lovely and well-protected. I was pleasantly surprised by the "Penguin Sign" painted on the pathway—who would have thought there would be penguins here? Surprisingly, it wasn't as crowded as I expected for such a beautiful spot. Enjoy your day and consider bringing a picnic lunch with you.

I absolutely adore Little Manly Beach. It's an excellent place to visit, particularly because it's well-protected, making it ideal when it's windy or hot at Manly Beach. The enclosed netted swimming area is perfect for children. The on-site café is a fantastic addition, allowing you to purchase lunch and enjoy it on the grass or sand. There are also swings available for the kids to play on. #letsguide #manly #sydneyharbour #australia

At the eastern end of the beach, you'll find a concrete boat ramp, one of the rare concrete ramps along the northern shore of Port Jackson. Public toilets and a kiosk are conveniently located behind the beach. This spot is a favorite among families, thanks to the baths, a grassy picnic area, and a children's playground.
