I followed Google Maps from North Narrabeen, where I was staying at this time down to Little Manly Beach via Pittwater Rd. Saturday morning was hectic but the traffic was moving. I walked around LMB taking in the beautiful scenery from this location. With views over to Sydney and a lot of photo opportunities. The parking is adequate and no charge to park. Families were enjoying the playground above LMB. The location is marbled with meandering paths and appears to be suitable for wheelchair ♿️ access. I would suggest having a companion with you for assistance on slightly steeper paths. I was however disappointed with the Beach Cafe with its expensive food items, as was the lady in front of me, at this point, I took my option and departed the queue. Other patrons appeared to be alright with it. The beach is lovely and well-protected. I was impressed with the "Penguin Sign" painted on the pathway. Who would have expected the Penguins at this location? It wasn't as busy as I expected for such a beautiful spot. Enjoy your day and take a picnic lunch with you.

There is a concrete boat ramp on the eastern end of the beach, one of the few concrete ramps on the northern shore of Port Jackson. Behind the beach are public toilets and a kiosk. The beach is a popular place for families because of the presence of the baths and a grassed picnic area, as well as a children's playground.

I love Little Manly Beach. It is a great spot to visit as it is very protected especially when its windy or warm at Manly Beach. The enclosed netted swimming area is great for kids. The Cafe there is a great addition to buy lunch and sit on the grass or sand. There is also some swings for the kids to play on. #letsguide #manly #sydneyharbour #australia

Beautiful tiny beach, protected so the waves aren’t too strong, making it great for swimming. There’s a boat ramp and some boats docked inside the water. Clean, soft sand and the sea is clear as can be. Not at all busy so perfect for a quiet afternoon, swim and sunbathe.
