Explore Manly, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Manly, NSW map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Manly, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of New South Wales or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Manly and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Manly.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Manly unfolds along a spectacular stretch of coastline, a place where the Tasman Sea’s breath is a constant companion, shaping its dunes and whispering through its casuarina groves. It lies 5.5 km east-north-east of Mosman, NSW (from Mosman, NSW: bearing 60°T), and is situated 10.5 km north-east of Sydney. The land here, a gentle swell of hills that dip towards the Pacific, offers sweeping vistas of azure water meeting a sky that often burns with the fiery hues of sunset. The air itself carries a salty tang, a perpetual reminder of the ocean's proximity, and the rhythm of Manly is intrinsically tied to the ebb and flow of the tide, the crash of waves on its iconic shores. This coastal character imbues Manly with a relaxed, yet vibrant, atmosphere, a blend of sun-drenched leisure and the quiet hum of daily life unfolding under a generous Australian sun.
The story of Manly is one etched by the sea and its abundant resources. Traditionally, this land was a place of sustenance for Indigenous peoples, a rich environment for gathering and living. European settlement saw Manly develop as a popular seaside resort, its accessibility by ferry from Sydney Harbour cementing its appeal as a destination for recreation and escape. The economy of Manly has long been sustained by tourism, drawing visitors to its famous beaches and natural beauty, a draw that continues to shape its commercial landscape. Complementing this, a thriving local business sector, encompassing retail, hospitality, and professional services, ensures Manly remains a self-sufficient and dynamic hub for its residents.
Manly pulses with a rich cultural life, a testament to its enduring appeal. While professional sporting teams in major leagues like the AFL, NRL, A-League, Big Bash League, Super Rugby, and NBL are primarily based in Sydney's larger centres, the passion for these sports is deeply felt throughout the Northern Beaches, with many Manly residents ardent supporters. The annual Manly Jazz Festival, a long-standing tradition, fills the streets with music, while numerous other local festivals and community events celebrate the unique spirit of the area. World-famous Manly Beach itself is a landmark, a mecca for surfers and sunseekers, complemented by the natural beauty of nearby Shelly Beach and the expansive national parks that hug the coastline, offering bushwalks and breathtaking views. Renowned educational institutions, including campuses of universities, contribute to the intellectual vibrancy of the region, attracting students and fostering a climate of learning. Over the years, Manly has been home to a constellation of talented individuals, from internationally acclaimed actors and musicians who have found inspiration in its coastal charm, to accomplished athletes who have honed their skills on its sands and waves, and politicians who have championed the interests of this beloved stretch of New South Wales.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Manly is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
