MANLY –Retail therapy for body and soul

From high end couture to funky boutique, market ‘originals’ to surf and street wear, Manly is certainly attracting the fashion savvy with its eclectic and centralised collection of more than 200 retail stores.

Along the famous Corso, discovered in hidden laneways or at the weekend outdoor markets, find fashion, food, homewares, giftware and all things lifestyle. Shop for beauty, jewellry and art, and toys for the young and young at heart.

“Manly as a complete shopping destination has matured from tourist attraction to local favourite, and it’s open every day of the year, including Christmas Day”, says Meegan Clancy, Centre Manager for Manly Mainstreet.

“And with the added convenience of 1100 undercover car parking spaces and free two hour parking, the shopping experience in Manly is as accessible as it is hassle free.

Just 30 minutes from the city, a true resort location with hundreds of boutiques enjoyed in the fresh air beside beach and harbour, Manly attracts between six and eight million visitors each year – most of those arriving by ferry. Together with over 100 cafes, bars and restaurants, a cinema and supermarkets, 30 activities and attractions and some 400 professional services, there’s something here for everyone.

“With family, friends or as time out for yourself, Manly is as good for the soul as it is for the wardrobe and back pocket. I know where I’d go for a day of retail therapy!”
