It sits in front of a marine reserve entrance for great snorkeling or scuba diving. There is also an ocean pool 50M from the apartment. Both Manly and Shelly beaches are within short walking distance along the ocean boardwalk. Manly Beach restaurants and bars are a 5-10 min walk. Sydney ferry at Manly harbor is 10 min. walk (30 minutes to Sydney). The accommodations are basic and typical of beach areas. I would recommend if ocean and beach access are your highest priority. The property is also very walkable for entertainment. Finally, there is a great coffee shop with breakfast next door for lazy mornings and people watching (at least 2 hours each morning I was there). ##### Shawn M.
