The harbour views themselves are quite pretty and if you go when the markets are on you can get some great fresh fruit and veges and sweets and the greek yogurt is fantastic. There's heaps of other assorted tasty treats. There is also restaurants and cafes to buy breakfast at after you've bought up at the markets. There's bbqs around... More

Having spent the last thirty years visiting the Manly district, I have seen this harbour improve to the point it is now a spot to take tourists. With play areas for children being built, the jetty, and nice cafes for food it is fast becoming one of the places to have a nice day out. More

Not the easiest place to get to necesarily but Manly harbour and the saturday markets are definitely worth a visit. The market is as markets are, pretty much the same old same old but set on the foreshore with the boat masts clanking on one side, an excellent playground and picnic space for the kids on the other, and miles...

Manly Harbour Village is a lovely sleepy little place Mon - Fri, on weekends it comes to life particularly on a Sunday when the markets are in the parkland areas on the Esplanade. Bigger numbers are attracted to the markets on a monthly basis when the Farmer's Markets take place on certain weekends of the month.Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch... More

Love Manly Harbour and all the boats. You can walk along the path by the water or have great fish and chips. There are also some great cafes and restaurants to select from. More

Manly (and the neighbouring area of Wynnum) is a beautiful location. Lovely waterside walks, great fish & chip shops (check out the old style Beachcomber at the Wynnum end and the newly opened Coopers at Manly), parks and markets every Sunday morning. In addition once a month the larger Jan Power's Market is on Saturday morning. Add to that some... More

Largest boat harbour on the eastern seaboard with an eat street overlooking. William Gunn Wharf worth visiting as a place to watch the yachts coming and going. Parking increasingly difficult. More
