Manly Beach is a beach situated among the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia in Manly, New South Wales. From north to south, the three main sections are Queenscliff, North Steyne, and South Steyne. EtymologyThe beach was named by Capt. Arthur Philip for the indigenous people living there. Philip wrote that "[the indigenous people's] confidence and manly behaviour made me give the name of Manly Cove to this place".[1] Commercial areaWithin walking distance of Manly Beach along the oceanway is Fairy Bower and Shelley Beach. There are shops, restaurants, night clubs, and bars in town. PatrolNorthern Beaches Council lifeguards operate a year-round service at South Steyne, and operate from October to April at North Steyne and Queenscliff.[2] Volunteer Life Savers also patrol on weekends and public holidays between October and May. AccessTravelling to Manly from Sydney's main ferry terminal, Circular Quay, takes 30 minutes by public ferry. There is also the option of a private ferry from Circular Quay to Manly (and back) between Monday and Saturday. There are two private ferry services running (also called "fast ferries") and the trip takes 18 minutes. The Corso, a pedestrian plaza and one of Manly's main streets for shopping and dining, runs from the ferry wharf and harbour beach, across the peninsula to Manly Beach, where it marks the boundary between North Steyne and South Steyne.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}} GalleryReferences{{Ref improve|date=August 2011}}1. ^Governor Philip to Lord Sydney, 15 May 1788, in the Historical Records of New South Wales ii:129, quoted by Robert Hughes in The Fantastic Four, 1987, paperback {{ISBN|1-86046-150-6}}-page 15 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.manly.nsw.gov.au/attractions/beaches/beach-lifeguard-service/ |title=Manly Council |publisher=Manly.nsw.gov.au |date= |accessdate=12 April 2013}}
