Manly

城市概覽

Situated across the Harbour 11 km (7 mi) northeast of Sydney City on the lower Northern Beaches, Manly was named by Captain Arthur Phillip after his encounter with the confident and manly Aboriginal people who lived on the peninsula. The main Manly shopping strip, the Corso, links the Harbour Beaches and the ferry wharf with the ocean surf beach. Manly is therefore the perfect destination to enjoy Sydney Harbour and the eighteen ocean beaches, coves and inlets used for swimming, sailing and surfing. Manly also has a huge range of shopping, dining and entertainment attractions to keep all ages and interests occupied.

如何抵達

By ferry

Ferries dock on the harbour side of Manly a short walk across to the beach. The F1 line departs from Wharf 3 at Circular Quay (adjacent to the train station). The Manly Ferry crosses the Harbour to Manly every 30 min. It is by far the most picturesque and relaxing way of getting to and from Manly. The ferry takes around 30 min and total travel time from the city centre is about 45 min. Single fares are $7.20/$3.60. You can tap your Opal Card, credit card, or buy a single trip ticket from the machines. Sundays are a veritable bargain at $2.70 for a travel around Sydney when using an Opal Card or contact-less credit card at the Opal gates. The cheap price and popular destination leads to large crowds on sunny Sundays. Manly fast ferries cost $10.20 for the same trip, and complete it about 10 minutes quicker. They leave from Wharf 6 at Circular Quay. You can tap your Opal Card or your credit card for the trip. They run a few services during the day direct to Watsons Bay from Manly - which is useful if you want to see Manly Beach and Bondi Beach in a single day, as this can save considerable time on the trip back to the city. This company also sells hop-on hop-off ferries passes for its ferries.

By bike Bikes are permitted on the Manly ferry from the city at no charge, just wheel them on. There are a few different places to hire bikes from in Manly and plenty of tracks to use once you get there.

Manly Bike Tours It is possible to take a cycle from the city to Manly on fairly quiet streets, on a reasonably well signposted route. While the main road follows the ridge as much as possible, the cycle route goes over the headlands, so you want to have your hill legs ready.

By car From the City, Manly is signposted from the north side of the Harbour Bridge. Take the Bridge and then the Manly exit from the Warringah Expressway. From points further north, get on Pittwater Road and stay on it all the way to Manly. At Warringah Mall, Pittwater Road turns to t

當地交通

Manly has two sides, the harbour side and the ocean side. The harbour side has the ferry wharf, and some attractive bay beaches with constructed swimming rockpools and calm netted beaches. The ocean side has the surf beaches of North and South Steyne, connected by a beachside walkway and cycleway. Connecting the ocean side and the harbour side is The Corso. A wide pedestrian mall, buzzing at all times of the day and night. It is an eclectic mix of shopping and eating, with a few upmarket restaurants and bars, interspersed with dives, kebab shops, and suburban supermarkets. You'll also find the overpriced bland fare aimed at tourists, and more varieties of ice-cream that you can sample in a week. Also on the harbour side is Shelly Beach, the start of The Spit walk, parks and gardens. If you want to get out to North Head or to see the attractions in the surrounding area, car, bus, bike or walking are options. There are some great coastal walks available. There are lots of bike tracks in the area. See the bike hire places listed above.
