Forty Baskets Beach

📖 About Forty Baskets Beach

Forty Baskets Beach is a secluded harbour beach tucked into Manly Cove along the scenic Spit to Manly Walk in Balgowlah Heights. It features a shark-netted swimming enclosure, a timber pier, and postcard views of North Head — all just a short walk from Manly Wharf. The sheltered, calm water makes it a gem for swimmers wanting to escape the ocean swell, and its peaceful grassy reserve shaded by Norfolk Pines is perfect for a post-swim picnic.
