Re: Sydney - be sure to take the ferry to Manly. It’s my favorite beach in Sydney. The northern beaches are far superior to the southern beaches.

When I lived in Manly walk north up the beach to the pipes. They make for some of the best surf watching. The second pipe had the best banks when I was there. If the surf is up you can watch some great displays of people ripping waves.

One of my favorite things to do when I arrive in Sydney is to check out all the beaches on the northern shore. It’s a car trip so not sure how you would arrange it but I’ve always had friends who have taken me on the tour.

Anyway - I desperately miss that city, it’s my favorite. Find a small cafe and get a flat white and breathe in the salty air and watch the waves.

Those are my fondest memories of living a block from the waves in Manly.
