Little Manly Cove
- Family friendly
Little Manly Cove is a short, sandy harbour beach on Sydney’s northern harbour shore, tucked between rocky headlands. It is about a ten-minute walk from Manly Wharf, and its eastern side has a netted swimming enclosure with shallow water suited to a relaxed harbour swim. Toilets, a changing area and showers are located behind the kiosk, while the adjoining reserve provides grass, picnic space and a children’s playground. It is sheltered from open-ocean surf, but boats, rocky edges and tides still call for care in the water.
