Welcome to Manly

The bayside suburb of Manly is only 17 kilometres from the centre of Brisbane. The gateway to Moreton Bay, Manly is dominated by water activities and stunning ocean views.

Manly's trendy marina is packed with elegant yachts, and is a great place to stop for a bite to eat. Coffee shops and restaurants are plentiful, while the assorted boutique shops will satisfy any shopaholics.

Take advantage of the fantastic ocean views and hire a boat for some whale watching. For an authentic ocean day trip, why not sail around Moreton Bay? Manly Eco Cruises will take you out to explore some of Moreton Bay's islands and marine life. Enjoy the thrill of boom net rides, or snorkel the pristine waters and be amazed by the colours of the bay!

One of Manly's other drawcards is the community swimming pool and seawater wading pool. Perfect for younger families or those preferring to keep one foot on land, both pools allow you to cool off in the glorious water. Model boat racing also takes place either in the swimming pool or marina area, and the kids will marvel at the speed and precision of these tiny boats.
