Northern Beaches Tours

Sydney’s Northern Beaches stretch from the suburbs of Manly to Palm Beach on a stretch of land called a peninsula housing 52 suburbs and 23 beaches with many listed in the top 10 beaches in Sydney. It is Sydney’s best kept tourist secret with many touring locations that are not listed on many touring guides itineraries.

Manly is the main tourist hub being the gateway to the Northern Beaches and consisting of an ocean beach, a harbour surfing beach and Shelly Beach which is the only western facing ocean beach on the entire east coast of Australia and situated in the protected marine aquatic reserve. Once being an isthmus makes Manly a unique and special place not only to locals but to the original inhabitants after which the suburb got its name as the local tribe were the most manly looking natives that the first settlers had observed.

Captain Arthur Phillip in 1788 who named Manly Cove after the Aboriginal people – “….their confidence and manly behaviour made me give the name of Manly Cove to this place.”

While a tour group can spend most of the day in and around Manly with various lookouts, beaches, shops, walks and historic sites there are many more amazing sites to see all the way up to Palm Beach and Kuring-Gai National Park.
