Living in Manly, NSW
Living in Manly is absolutely a good lifestyle. You get the Corso, you get the Wharf and you get the beach all in some short of distance walk. Manly is really popular in summer, it looks like the perfect spot to hit for shopping/dining/entertainment. It has a gorgeous beach where to practise water activities, surfing in particular and some diving at Shelly Beach. It has a wonderful boardwalk all along the beach from Shelly Beach until Queenscliff, the next beach going north, while it has reserves and national park closed to the wharf on the other side. The Corso and Pittwater Road are the places for shopping, nice cosy shops, few fancy shops and more surfer style shops are everywhere. On Pittwater Road is easy to get fascinated by the boards' shops and surf-funky style clothes shops and easy to lose yourself in a nice cafè and is a bit more quite than the Corso. Along the esplanade, north steyne or the wharf you'll find nice dining restaurants that light up in the evening
