Why it's worth checking out
Old Quarry Swamp sits at Manly, one of Sydney's iconic northern beaches suburbs. A 4.7 rating from 15 reviews marks it as a much-loved natural spot.
The appeal is a lovely pocket of nature close to the coast — a wetland and reserve with native bush, birdlife and lovely surrounds, a genuine favourite for a walk, some fresh air and connecting with the outdoors in the beautiful Manly area. It's a lovely, free outing.
Wetlands and reserves have changing conditions and seasonal considerations, so check current details and any advisories before you go. Bring water, sun protection, insect repellent and comfortable shoes, and take your time enjoying the natural surrounds.
