Manly and the Corso

Manly often plays second fiddle to Bondi. Both beaches are within Sydney and easy to access using public transport.

When I lived in Sydney, I did not visit the beaches often; I am not a bake in the sun type of person. Despite this, after traveling all the way back to Australia we knew we had to visit at least a couple of beaches during our short stay.

Over the years, I have come to prefer Manly. The approach on the public ferry is stunning and the streets around feel less crowded. It was at Manly that I heard my first public announcement warning swimmers of jelly fish. It was at Manly that I spent my first New Years Day in Australia many years ago. It felt good to return and wander aimlessly around for a few hours.

I put together a short film to remind myself of the beach. The film is embedded below and available on my YouTube channel.
