The journey to Manly is a beautiful ferry ride. It is also a popular and fashionable area, famous both for its tree-lined beach and for its food, much of which lies along the short but trendy street known as The Corso, joining the harbour and ocean sides of the peninsula. Manly lies on the North Head of the harbour entrance and there is a pleasant walk up onto the head to the old Quarantine Station, which is interesting in itself, and to the end of North Head. For kids Manly WaterWorks has three giant water slides and a great beach. Manly Visitor Information Centre, located on Manly Wharf . (9977 1088).
