What to expect

Fairy Bower is a beach in the Manly area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It features a rockpool, known as Fairy Bower Rockpool, which is triangular in shape and has sculptures called 'The Sea Nymphs' or 'The Oceanides' along its edge. The rockpool is a historic pool cut and blasted along the New South Wales coast as saltwater bathing became popular. The area is also home to a scenic walk that links Manly Beach to Fairy Bower and Shelly Beach. The beach is suitable for families, with a cafe, public toilet, showers, and a swimming pool nearby. It's also a popular spot for divers, with Dusky Whaler sharks regularly seen in the area
