Guidebook for Manly
Food Scene
Amazing views, great wine list, this is a upper class wine bar, yet with a relaxed ocean vibe. By upper class I mean lots of good looking people and a bit higher prices then elsewhere : )

Delicious Cuban cuisine at this cute little spot - likely our favorite place to eat in Manly. Good cold beers from Cuba and Mexico, plus nice mojito's and cocktails. The loaded fries are amazing, a mix of sweet potato fries, loaded with pulled pork, salsa, cheese, etc...

Drinks & Nightlife
Excellent venue which is about to expand downstairs as well. Great beer, brewed on site, nice tasting paddles, and delicious food selection. Check the website for week day specials! Live music a few nights a week too. We have a refillable 'growler' for takeaway beers from them in our apartment. It's $20 for 2 liters of beer last time we were in there, then you can take away and drink on the apartment balcony, or the beach picnic area across the street.

Parks & Nature
Gorgeous spot, often protected from any wind. The snorkelling is the best in all of Sydney along the southern edge of the walkway. Toilets, free electric BBQ's, and a nice restaurant are all right here too. Bushwalks start here and go into the national park, or a small loop around the headland, with stairs starting in the beach sand.

So close and you can feel like you are in a National Park (which you are) there are several bush trails here and some fantastic lookouts to the Harbour and Sydney. Pop into the cafe as well for brekky or lunch on your walk. It's located about 1.5 km into the park, and the 135 bus goes here too.

Getting Around
Ferry terminal for both the public ferry, and private fast ferry. Some services go direct to Darling Harbour, Pyrmont, and Watsons bay (I think they call this one the Eco-Hopper Ferry).
