Shelly Beach in Manly is a very cool dive location for beginners in Sydney.

Shelly Beach is a popular shore diving location due to the fact it’s the only west-facing beach on the east coast of Australia – meaning it’s well protected – and it sits in the only Aquatic Reserve within Sydney, Cabbage Tree Bay.

Not a diver? Shelly Beach has a cool cafe and a great place just for a swim, and if I don’t come back again for more diving, I will definitely be back for breakfast, a cappuccino and to admire the views.
