ABOUT THIS BEACH

Reef Beach is a gorgeous little beach, tucked away along the Spit to Manly walk in Middle Harbour. This tiny beach is not unpopular during the warmer months, and the calm waters bring families, paddleboarders and weekend walkers alike. If you’re looking for a small beach to relax amidst ocean and bush, or if you’re looking for clear, turquoise waters to take a dip during your walk, Reef Beach is for you! Access is via the Spit to Manly walk, in between Forty Baskets & Washaway Beach.
