When we got off the ferry, to the left side there was a small beach and a round building which we thought was a aquarium but it turned out to be some store. We continued walking and discovered the scenic walkway. It was a very relaxing trail (paved) with lots of photo opportunities.

A must if you have time in Manly. Goes from the southern end of the beach along to Fairy Bower (don't take that too figuratively) and Shelly Beach. You get wonderful views of the beach and Cabbage Tree Bay. The sheltered beach at Shelly B. is better for small children.

I lived in Manly for 6 months in 2012. The walkway was one of the reasons that I moved there. Its a lovely place for a bike, walk or rollerblade and sometimes you see massive lizards just chilling in the sun. Beautiful. Wish I could go back now

This is a great walk with beautiful scenery. We did not expect to enjoy this walk as much as we did. Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and take a water bottle. Enjoy :-)

We actually rented bikes and went along the walk way. It was so beautiful and offered many places to stop for things to do. Loved it and can not wait to go back.

Great walk going along the water. Lots of people out and about. Interesting ornaments on the wall to look at. Could not think of anything better to do then walk along here on a sunny winters day.

Did this walk from manly to spit bridge as best as I could but some parts are quite poorly maintained and with little or no signs so you can get lost easily. The first half is ok, while you go around the beaches but the second half needs maintenance badly, the last bit was already closed and we had to... More

After reading on the internet that it would take 2 hours to cover Spit Bridge to Manly, my friend and I decided we'll go for a quiet afternoon walk. Getting there, we read it would take us 3 1/2 hours and we noticed we probably didn't have the proper shoes. But it was a nice sunny afternoon and we made... More

We walked from Manly Beach to the point at the south end of the bay. We saw several Water Dragons, people enjoying water sports, and groups enjoying picnic lunches. From the point, we enjoyed fantastic views of sail boats in the ocean and some surfers taking advantage of the waves at the point. The walkway was wide enough for two... More
