You will find all the main shops along the Corso leading to Manly Beach, newsagency, playground for kids and of course the famous surf beach where you can learn to surf or hire an umbrella and relax and watch the world go by. Also try exploring around Sydney Road (fresh markets on Wednesdays) and Rialto square off the Corso or Pittwater Rd for more shops. Please always remember to swim between the red and yellow flags as the surf can be dangerous and the local lifesavers watch swimmers between the flags.

This is the best look out to see the expanse of the Harbour and CBD across to Bondi and South head where the cruise ships come in and out. There is a lovely café near the carpark and several nice bush walks around this area.
