About this site
Fairlight Beach sits on Sydney Harbour in the suburb of Fairlight, near Manly on the northern shore, part of the sheltered run of bays between Manly Cove and Manly itself. It's a shore dive with a maximum depth of around 7 metres, making it a beginner-friendly site. Divers have reported octopus, pipefish, and seahorses along the harbour floor here, and recreational boating traffic in the area has also been noted as a hazard worth watching for.
