Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve

Reviewed By mrdom

At least of the places I've been. All the way from Shelly Beach (a great beach itself which provides the easiest access to the water) to the headland near Manly beach has a huge variety of fish and some spectacular rocks.

Shelly Beach

Reviewed By Breadleg - Foster City, United States

A nice walk through the bush and along the cliffs from Manly Bay to Shelly Beach with lots of great outlooks along the way. Some areas require stabile footing due to rocks. Glad we wore trail running shoes. And we did this all in torrential rains. Still loved it.

4 Pines Brewery Tours

4 Pines offers internationally acclaimed award- winning beers along with a seasonal menu featuring beer friendly food. With beer being brewed most days there is always entertainment to see, hear, taste, smell and enjoy. 4 Pines has a reputation as one of the friendliest and more relaxed venues in Sydney.

Reviewed By TiaEd - Atlanta, United States

We landed at 7 am after a 17-hour flight, hopped on Ocean Extreme whale watching and realized that the tour picked up people at Manly. I did not believe we could squeeze Manly into our short time in Sydney so we took the opportunity for the "free" Manly drop off after the tour. I had heard of 4 Pine's fish and chips and desperately needed them after the whale watching tour. We got to the brewery, greeted with smiles and we looked at the menu. I wanted something a bit healthier than fish and chips so we split the roasted cauliflower and the fish and chips and we are so glad we did. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious, and the cauliflower had a delicious hummus mixed aloi that was calming on my stomach after a rough boat ride. Once we had some food in our stomach we got a flight, or tasting paddle, of 5 beers. While beer is a unique taste for everyone, I won't rate the beer themselves but I enjoyed them all. We had Pacific Ale, Pale Ale, El Dorado IPA, In Season IPA and Nitro Stout. The bartenders were also great. We walked up and said "Do y'all do flights" and one walked up and said "so, if you can say y'all, can we respond with w'all do flights?". I forgot how easy it is for others to know we are from the south when we start to talk, almost the same thing happened in Canada! Overall - I'm so glad we made the time to stop here. I did not realize I would see 4 Pines on so many menus after, and I'd rather have it at the source!
