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.

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.

High-rise buildings and apartments now line the foreshore; a testament to the high popularity of the area. Since the 1970s and the Conserve Manly local political party, high rise development has been drastically limited and most new beachfront developments are no more than three or four stories in height. The relaxed lifestyle, beaches and proximity to Sydney city have led to Manly's real estate prices being amongst the highest in Australia.

Manly has Sydney Harbour on its western side with calm water, ferry wharf, swimming area, Oceanworld Manly aquarium, sailing and yacht clubs. 300 metres to the east is the Pacific Ocean and Manly Beach. There are over 20kms of cycle tracks which can be used to explore the area.

The Manly International Jazz Festival, is Australia's largest community based jazz festival, during the October long weekend public holiday, with various stages hosting continuous free public performances from mid-day until early evening. The forthcoming soap opera Out of the Blue is set in Manly.

Transport services to Manly include an efficient Ferry service from Manly Wharf, and bus services to the city and other suburbs.

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.

Manly Beach is a well known beach situated in Sydney's Northern Beaches, Australia. There are three main sections known as Queenscliff, North Steyne, and South Steyne, from North to South.

Within a short walk of Manly Beach along the oceanway is Fairy Bower and Shelley Beach. Also adjacent to Sydney Harbour National Park, Fairy Bower is one of the few large wave surfing spots in Sydney and produces a long right hand wave breaking over a reef. Shelly Beach (and the surrounding Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve) is a popular place for scuba diving, and is the only beach on Australia's east coast which faces inland.

Manly Beach is highly popular with tourists and locals alike; a popularity rivalled only by the famous Bondi Beach south of the harbour. Manly Council Lifeguards operate a year round service at South Steyne.
