Hiking all of Manly... 12kms. Whales, Trails & Ales!

Beaches, hidden beaches, stunning views, whales & hiking trails... let's conquer all of Manly - my favourite beach suburb in all of Australia! And of course... finish at a fahkin' gem of an Aussie pub for a drink or two.

THE HIKE.
We'll meet at Manly Wharf - just at Felon's Seafood (next to Hugo's) overlooking the beach (see map - we'll meet at that exact spot). West Cove Beach... then East Cove Beach. Little Manly Beach. Collins Beach (this one is a hidden beauty). Then the walk into Sydney Harbour National Park to the STUNNING lookouts at North Head. From there it's a flat / downhill hike to Shelly Beach, Manly Beach. Queenscliff Beach. Over to Freshwater Beach, and The Harbord Hotel (one of the great pubs in the Northern Beaches) is our spot to finish for a beer and something to eat. The hike is 12kms in total, and we'll perfect views at North Head to spot some whales as they are heading back south.

From Harbord Hotel...The bus stop (runs all the time) is right there to take us all back to Manly Beach - if you're driving I'd recommend parking by Harbord Hotel and taking the bus to Manly Wharf to meet us at the start point.

Keen to come? You must join our Whatsapp group HERE. For some reason many of you miss this - I don't understand why. Or, send me your mobile number on 0439 635 699, and I can add you myself.

The Manly Ferry... a great hike in Mother Nature... beaches... whales... and a superb pub. Sounds like the perfect Sunday Session!

See you then! MJ
