10. Beautiful Beaches 

There are numerous great beaches in the Sydney metropolitan area for you to choose from. Two most popular beaches are Bondi and Manly.

Bondi Beach is located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. This beach seems to be the most famous beach in Sydney as many people know this beach from one of the most famous TV shows in Australia named "Bondi Rescue". Tourists can visit Bondi easily by bus.

Manly is situated in the north. In my personal opinion, this is the most beautiful beach in Sydney. There are two ways that you can visit Manly; by bus or ferry. Most tourists love to travel from the city to Manly Beach by ferry as they are able to see lots of picteresque views of Sydney Habour while they are sitting on the ferrry.
