Local Life

» Surfing A fair proportion of Manly residents live to surf, squeezing in a few hours rid-
ing the swell before or after work. The beach's three surf lifesaving clubs are hubs of
community life.
» Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles The local rugby league team are neighbourhood heroes,
having won the premiership twice in the last decade. Home games are played further north
at Brookvale, but Manly's pubs are lively places to watch matches.
» Cafes They may not be as self-consciously hip as they are in Surry Hills and Newtown,
but Manly has its own dedicated band of baristas bringing quality coffee to those in the
know.

Getting There & Away

» Ferry Frequent ferry services head directly from Circular Quay to Manly, making this
by far the best (and most scenic) way to get to Manly. Regular Sydney Ferries take 30
minutes for the journey while fast ferries take just 18 minutes.
