It’s what locals already knew and now it’s confirmed – the Manly Scenic Walkway, also known as the Spit to Manly walk, has been recognised as one of the leading attractions in the world by Tripadvisor as part of their 2023 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

The 10km walk has so many beautiful viewing points, dramatic clifftops, lookout points, easily accessible sections, mixed terrain, indigenous artworks, beautiful harbourside beaches to take a dip and magnificent views of Sydney Harbour.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards honour travellers’ favourite destinations, hotels, restaurants, things to do, and beyond, based on the reviews and opinions collected from travellers and diners around the world on Tripadvisor over a 12-month period.

Travellers’ Choice, formerly the Certificate of Excellence, recognises businesses that earn consistently great reviews. Travellers’ Choice award-winners are among the top 10% of listings on Tripadvisor.

Here is what travellers said about the walk:

“If you love to walk around it's perfect! One of the best walks ever. There is a lot of great places to see and just sit down and enjoy the area….” Janne W, Sweden

“Glad we did it, very interesting trail that provides breathtaking views of the east waterfront. And to top it all, we landed in Manly just before night fall for a well-deserved, sumptuous dinner on the beach. The track is well guided by signs and locals are very friendly in terms of pointing to the right direction if you feel lost. Highly recommended.” Priyaranjan K, Singapore
