About this place
What to expect
Shelly Beach is located in Manly and forms part of Cabbage Tree Bay, a protected marine reserve which lies adjacent to North Head and Fairy Bower. With a maximum depth of approximately 12 metres, Shelly Beach has become popular with Scuba Divers and Snorkelers alike with a large variety of marine life which can be viewed in relatively shallow water. Take a walk around the bush track which hugs the headland offering spectacular views of North Head and the Northern Beaches. Shelly Beach has showers, toilets and a cafe along with two free electric barbeques, perfect for that family picnic. For a more formal dining option, there is a cafe on the beach named The Boathouse. Shelly Beach has a pay-and-display ticketed carpark available during daylight hours. Facilities include beach showers, toilets and change rooms next to the Boathouse Restaurant. No dogs allowed on the Beach
