Many restaurants in Northern Beaches are now among the most popular and best eateries in all of New South Wales.

Combine this with some of the best coffee culture and baristas in Australia, it is no wonder why people flock to the Northern Beaches every day for a coffee and more.

Although the beaches themselves may not have changed significantly in the past 50 years, the way in which we enjoy these beaches certainly has. Northern Beaches are now among of the most popular surf destinations for both locals and tourists. Beaches such as Manly and Freshwater Beach offer perfect waves for surfers with a range of abilities. Furthermore, with the Northern beaches only a 30-40 minute drive north of the Sydney CBD, they offer the perfect escape for city dwellers.

Manly Beach is far and away the most popular suburb and beach in the Northern Beaches region. It has an abundance of bars and restaurants scattered along the beach, plus some super fun waves for surfers of all levels to enjoy. However, between the best Northern Beaches of Manly and Freshwater Beach, there is a hidden gem, known as the Queenscliff Wormhole. Carved by fisherman in 1908 to give them a shortcut between the two bays, this rock tunnel is only accessible on calm days. It’s certainly worth checking out!

Manly is home to some of the funkiest and best kept secret bars in the region. There is an abundance of speakeasies, laneway bars and cosy corner taverns that offer unique and special experiences for everyone. Some of the best watering holes in Manly include the Wharf Bar that offers casual dining, bars inside and on the jetty where you can watch the sunset while enjoying a beverage. For a bar tucked away, The Hold is a rustic nautically themed bar that offers inventive cocktails and high-quality food. Another local favourite is the Steyne Hotel being one of Manly’s oldest buildings and originally a pub since 1859, this place is steeped in history. Located on the beachfront where you can pull up a window seat, it’s an ideal spot for people-watching while enjoying an authentic pub meal in a picturesque location.

As well as the beautiful beaches and the amazing food and drinks scene, there is a number of other special things to do on the Northern Beaches. One of the best experiences you can have in the Northern Beaches is at the North Head Sanctuary. This spectacular reserve is located on the peninsula at the Northern entrance to Sydney Harbour. With thousands of years of Indigenous history hidden around the reserve, the walk and bike trails will take you to places that you will never forget, such as the Quarantine Station and its famous evening Ghost Tours.  The reserve also has military fortifications from WWII as well as some of the best-unobstructed views of Sydney Harbour.
