Shelly Beach

Shelly Beach is nestled within Cabbage Tree Bay’s protected marine reserve. It is a tranquil and family-friendly haven. Its calm waters make it ideal for children and less confident swimmers, while divers and snorkelers are drawn to its rich marine biodiversity, including rare fish and enchanting sea dragons.

This beach offers something for everyone. Beyond its pristine beach, there’s a grassy area perfect for picnics and games, complete with benches, barbecues, and public amenities. The renowned Boathouse Shelly Beach – a café complete with good coffee and a delectable menu – sits conveniently alongside the beach.Don’t miss the small sculptures adorning the rock wall as you approach the beach. For nature enthusiasts, a bush track meanders along the headland, offering breathtaking views of North Head and the Northern Beaches.

From the Manly Pacific, enjoy a scenic 2.5km walk with stunning water vistas, or reach Shelly Beach in just a 7-minute drive from the hotel.
