About MANLY

Manly is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Manly is located 17 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre of the local government area of Manly Council, in the Northern Beaches region.

History
Manly was named by Capt. Arthur Phillip for the indigenous people living there, ''their confidence and manly behaviour made me give the name of Manly Cove to this place''. These men were of the Kay-ye-my clan. While scouting for fresh water in the area, Phillip encountered members of the clan, and after a misunderstanding he was speared in the shoulder by one of the clan; to his lasting credit, the progressively-minded Phillip ordered his men not to retaliate. During the 19th and early 20th century Manly was one of Australia's most popular seaside holiday resorts.

Beaches
Manly is most notable for its beaches which are popular tourist destinations. Manly features a long stretch of sand on the ocean side, that runs from Queenscliff Beach to North Steyne Beach and Manly Beach. This is followed by rock pools and sandy beaches called Fairy Bower and Shelly Beach. Norfolk Island pine trees are also symbolic of Manly and are a prominent feature of both the ocean and harbour-side beaches.

Commercial Area
The commercial Manly is centred around The Corso, which runs from the harbour side at Manly Wharf to the ocean side at Manly Beach. Part of The Corso is a mall which allows outdoor dining for cafes and restaurants. The commercial area extends to surrounding streets with more cafes and restaurants concentrated along the ocean and harbour shores.
