Manly, Coastal suburb in Northern Beaches, Australia.
Manly extends between Sydney Harbor and the Pacific Ocean, featuring a central pedestrian thoroughfare called The Corso that connects both waterfronts.
The establishment of Manly as an official coastal settlement in 1853 marked the beginning of organized European residential development in Sydney's Northern Beaches.
The Manly Surf Life Saving Club maintains water safety traditions through educational programs teaching children and adults about ocean awareness and rescue techniques.
Visitors can reach Manly from Sydney's central business district by taking a 30-minute ferry ride across the harbor, offering transportation throughout the day.
The suburb contains multiple marine reserves where divers regularly encounter blue gropers, cuttlefish, and wobbegong sharks in their natural habitat.
