Manly Cove
Manly Cove is a harbour-side swimming and recreation area on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour, with a sandy beach east of Manly Ferry Terminal. Manly Cove East is about 250 metres long and backed by a sandstone seawall and a narrow grass reserve. Swimming, walking or jogging and picnicking are established uses; the wider cove also includes rocky intertidal platforms and a netted swimming enclosure. Ferry and boating activity make local signs and conditions important when entering the water.
