Beaches

We preferred Manly beach to the crowds of Bondi who were mostly sunbathing. Manly was filled with surfers the day we were there including a number of surfing schools.  And there's lots of room to stretch out without laying on someone else's towel!

Dad used to spearfish with his brothers at Shelly beach so we wanted to visit. To our surprise, this area has been transformed into a marine reserve. I'm not sure if it's because Dad and his brothers were such successful fisherman or whether they had wounded so much sea life! It's a pretty little beach that is protected by the surf and filled with snorkelers.
