About Manly
Manly is Sydney's most iconic beach suburb, where over 16,000 residents enjoy the famous ferry ride, world-class surf, and an unmatched combination of beach culture and urban sophistication. The peninsula location between ocean and harbour provides beaches on both sides. With median income approaching $71,000, it's evolved from backpacker haven to genuinely affluent address.
The Corso connects harbour to ocean, lined with restaurants, cafes, and shops that cater to locals and tourists alike. The ocean beach is magnificent—a kilometre of golden sand with consistent surf—while Shelly Beach offers protected swimming. Manly attracts beach-loving professionals, families committed to coastal lifestyle, and anyone who believes the ferry commute beats any train. It's Sydney's beach suburb, full stop.
Manly falls under postcode 2095 and is governed by Northern Beaches Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Manly electorate.
