Beginner Beach break Sand bottom Peels both 0.4–2 m Any tide

The long, gentle stretch of Manly Beach where Australia's surf lifesaving movement was born and where surfing first took root on the east coast. Soft, consistent peaks suit beginners and longboarders, with surf schools running daily; on bigger east swells the outer banks serve up something for everyone.
