Manly Beach Coast Walk

We'd thought about walking from Manly to Spit Bridge but only made it as far as the headland just beyond Shell Beach. It was still a nice walk.

As you reach the south end of Manly Beach you see at the water’s edge rather than sand. 

Some people prefer that. We saw people sitting on the rocks and swimming off them. There’s also a sea pool.

Along the land side of the walk was a series of sculptures embedded in or on the rocks. 

At Shelly Beach the path turned inland across and around a park. We followed the Shelly Beach Walking Track onto the headland. That stretch was more rustic than we expected. 

We continued the walk past the parking lot for a stretch. The views along the coast and across the bay were great. 

Along the way we saw a local turkey — we’ve seen a few of those on this trip — and an iguana or two.

Each of those scallops in the coastline is another beach. So many beaches, so little time.
