About this site
Cabbage Tree Bay sits at Manly on Sydney's northern beaches in New South Wales, between Shelly Beach and Fairy Bower, and forms part of an aquatic reserve protecting the local marine habitat. It is regarded as a beginner dive site, making it a common choice for those new to diving in the area. The bay is easily accessed from shore, sheltered from the open ocean swell that hits nearby exposed points.
