Why it's worth checking out
Crab Rock sits at Manly, one of Sydney's iconic northern beaches suburbs. With 9 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely, rugged slice of the coast — a rock spot with lovely water and coastal surrounds, a genuine favourite for taking in the scenery, a pause on a foreshore walk or simply soaking up the seaside setting in beautiful Manly. It's a lovely, free outing.
Rocky coastal spots have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations, and it pays to take care near the water, so check current details and any safety advice before you go. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and comfortable shoes.
