Queenscliff Beach is apart of the Manly strip and there are many things to do in the area! Below we have listed some of our "must dos" in the area!

The Fairlight Walk:

The family-friendly Fairlight Walk is a short walking trail starting from the ferry wharf in Manly Cove to the Manly Boatshed near North Harbour Reserve.

The walk passes a few secluded beaches and several small parks, with great Harbour views to enjoy from start to finish.

The prettiest strip of sand along the walk is the 80m long Fairlight Beach, which is also home to a rockpool and a small pool area for toddlers to have a splash.

An Aussie Pub LunchL:

Not only is Manly home to some of the prettiest beaches in Sydney, but there are also lots of great pubs to explore for a good feed and a cold drink.

Some of these pubs are conveniently located in The Corse, and you’ll also find a couple of pubs, bars, and restaurants on the waterfront near the ferry wharf.

Great pubs in Manly:
Hotel Steyne (75 The Corso)
New Brighton Hotel (71 The Corso)
Ivanhoe Hotel Manly (27 The Corso))

Walk around North Head:

If you’re up for an exhilarating hike that is both a coastal and a bushwalking track, you must do the North Head circuit walk.

This 9.5 km walking trail is an absolute treat, with lots of history, panoramic views, and secluded beaches to take in.

You can start this walk at Shelly Beach, from where the trail continues to the historical sites on North Head, the Fairfax Lookout, and back to Manly via Collins and Little Manly Beach.

Sight Seeing by Ferry:

If you’re in Manly, chances are you arrived there by ferry from Circular Quay. But if not, it’s worth doing a quick return ferry trip from the Manly wharf to the city and back.

The Manly ferry ride from Circular Quay is a tourist attraction in its own right and is a must for every tourist visiting Sydney.

This trip takes 20 minutes and crosses the entire Sydney Harbour. The vessels are comfortable with lots of seating inside as well as outside.

Walk the Spit Bridge:

The 10 km walking track between the Spit Bridge and Manly is one of Sydney’s iconic walks that you should do at least once. Combined with the North Head Walk, it is a 19.5 km hiking adventure known as the Manly Scenic Walkway.

Most people start this walk from the Spit Bridge, but you can, of course, also start from the Manly wharf and do this walk westbound.

Some of the highlights along this walk include Fairlight Beach, North Harbour Reserve, Reef Beach, Dobroyd Head, and Clontarf Reserve.

Surfing Lessons at Queenscliff or Manly:

Did you know that the first World Surfing Championships were held in Manly? In 1964, Manly hosted this high-profile event, attracting a crowd of 60,000 spectators.

So, if you’ve been keen to give surfing a go, then you may as well try it at Manly’s main beach, where the waves are great for beginners and advanced surfers.

Head to the Manly Surf School at the northern end of the beach, where you can either book a surf lesson or hire a board if you already know the basics.

Visit the Fairfax Lookout:

The popular Fairfax Lookout on Manly’s North Head is one of Sydney’s best lookout points, offering incredible Harbour views with the city skyline visible in the distance.

A short and family-friendly circuit walking trail takes in this lookout, in addition to a few other lookouts with Harbour and ocean views from different angles.

This walking trail starts at the end of Scenic Drive, where you will find a reasonably sized car parking area.

Visit Shelley Beach:

While the two Manly beaches on either side of the Corso are beautiful, some may argue that the much smaller Shelly Beach is the prettiest strip of sand in Manly.

You can get there by following the footpath from Manly’s main beach heading south, past the Manly Life Saving Club and the Fairy Bower Sea Pool.

Shelly Beach forms part of Cabbage Tree Bay, a protected aquatic reserve covering around 20 hectares. Besides swimming, the beach is a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkelling, with lots of marine life to explore in the shallow water.

Play Beach Volleyball:

With such a beautiful long and narrow beach, it’s no surprise that Manly has several fixed volleyball courts that are free for everyone to use.

You can play beach volleyball year-round at the courts in Manly, either with a bunch of friends or through private classes and group training sessions that you can join.

The courts are located opposite the Manly Pacific hotel, not too far away from the centre of town.
