Manly Beach, Beach in Manly, Australia.
The three-kilometer shoreline features golden sand bordered by Norfolk Island pine trees along a promenade facing the Pacific Ocean.
The location marked a milestone in surfing history as the site of the first international surfing competition, held in 1964.
The beach area maintains a strong surfing heritage, with three surf lifesaving clubs operating along different sections of the coastline.
Visitors can reach the beach via a 30-minute ferry ride from Sydney's Circular Quay, followed by a walk through The Corso pedestrian mall.
The protected Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve adjacent to the beach houses more than 200 fish species, including the eastern blue groper.
