Manly Beach and Ferry ⛴️ in Winter Sydney

Written by a tourist who visited there for the first time • At the weekends, at Manly Beach, there is a market from 9 am to 4:30 pm (during summer until 5 pm). •Despite the weekends, there are always tasty gelato shops and nice specialty shops to visit. From Circular Quay ferry station, I got on a ferry to Manly Beach. The travelling time was about 20 minutes, and a good point is that you can view a beautiful Australian sea and the Sydney Opera House above the deck, though nighttime in winter it’s a bit chilly to be outside. It was my first time to get on the ferry, but I’d like to try again. From the Manly wharf to the beach, there are nice shops on both sides of the road, so it took over 30 mins for me but normally should be 5-8 mins. Many gelato shops were there, and I ate one of them which was so tasty, so it must be hard to choose which flavour to eat… Sadly, I couldn’t see the sunset from the beach only the beautiful colored clouds. I’m not sure, but I wondered if I were getting on the ferry during the sunset. Also, I recommend bringing a coat if you visit in winter and planning to eat the delicious gelato! I went there nearly at sunset time, and I found a hotel there. Because I had already booked a hotel at a different place, I couldn’t stay, but it seemed a good location to stay. However, the way back to the Circular Quay was also nice, due to Sydney city lights after the sunset.
