Manly is a popular beachside resort and a favourite with generations of families. In 1915, Aussie surfing was born here, when Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku rode a plank of shaped wood. There was also the one-man beach protest against the no daylight swimming law, which heralded the rise of Sydney's fanatical beach culture. Manly has an array of beaches to explore, both harbour and surf, and some breathtaking coast walks. Shops and restaurants abound around the Corso.
