Located at the end of a pedestrian walkway called Marine Parade, which begins at the southern end of Manly beach. It is more sheltered than Manly’s main beach and an amazing place to dive and snorkel, and explore the wonders of Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve. The Boathouse cafe is there for food and drinks. We highly recommend doing this! It is just beautiful.
