Manly

Postcode: 4179 | Distance to CBD: 17 km

Welcome to Manly

The bayside suburb of Manly is instantly recognisable by the masts of yachts moored in the boat harbour at the southern tip of the Esplanade next to Manly Harbour Village.

Manly is especially popular on weekends when Brisbane residents take the short trip to the Manly area  to go fishing or boating, shop at the markets, picnic in the park, dine out, swim at the pool or simply walk along the foreshore enjoying the sea breeze.

Neighbouring Wynnum has a large shopping centre and library as well as many other attractions and the suburbs are so closely connected they are often referred to by the combined name Wynnum-Manly.

Bronwyn says: Manly is a place for everything. Whether you like to have a picnic with the family, parties, bike ride, fish, sail, dinner, browse at markets, the list goes on. Manly is a place for everyone in the family. It can be a quiet place to relax or a place to meet people and have a few quiet drinks. It is a place that I will always call home.
