Manly Cove

Last updated October 2026

Manly Cove, on the harbour side of Manly off Fairlight Walk, is one of the swimming enclosures the council lists along the harbour and Northern Beaches foreshores as an alternative to the ocean waves. There are no lifeguards on duty, so check conditions before swimming. Within a short walk (OpenStreetMap) are Gelatissimo (ice cream shop, about 150 m), Silo West (cafe, about 160 m), Coles Local (supermarket, about 240 m) and Priceline Pharmacy (pharmacy, about 250 m), plus several restaurants.
