About this walk...
The Shelly Beach Walking Track is a scenic coastal trail that meanders approximately 1km from the southern end of Manly Beach to the tranquil Shelly Beach. This easy walk typically takes about 15 minutes to complete, offering stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere. The path is well-maintained and suitable for all ages and abilities, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors.
Along the way, walkers can enjoy the Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve, a protected marine area teeming with marine life. The track also passes by the historic Fairy Bower Baths, a unique ocean pool nestled between the rocks. For those interested in art and nature, the Eco Sculpture Walk features several sculptures along the route, providing insights into the area's marine life and history. The walk concludes at Shelly Beach, a sheltered cove ideal for swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing by the sea.
