Sydney General Tips by linnyloo

Favorite Thing: Balmoral Beach is one of Sydney's more prestigious harbourside beaches, an ideal location on a summers day, great for a dip or picnic. It is a safe swimming beach.

Great facilities for kids and a lovely play park.
Restaurants and public toilets available.

Balmoral as a northshore suburb, is home to the well-heeled, mansions and private jetties the norm.

Favorite Thing: Manly Beach is one of the best beaches in the Sydney area.
Manly is located on a narrow peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water, it offers both harbour and ocean beaches.
Manly is a wonderful blend of casual and trendy tastes. It remains the more easygoing of the beaches that line the north coast.
The plaza offers shopping and a large variety of places to eat and drink.
On weekends and public holidays an outdoor Arts and Craft Market is held in Sydney Road close to the promenade. Visitors will find an abundance of hand-crafted items here.
A walk down Manly’s promenade brings one to a breath taking ocean view. The white sands, the surf, the huge Norfolk Pines lining the beach are part of what is so distinctive about Manly.

Manly can be reach by many different forms of transport including the Manly Ferries from Circular Quay, which is a really nice scenic half hour trip.

We found this man who creates the most incredible sand castles absolutely facinating. He had a book with other castles he has made, often taking the whole day to make it. People give him money for it.
