Ripples Little Manly

Ripples sits right on the sand at Little Manly Beach, a calm harbour cove tucked away from the surf side of the peninsula. It is an all-day cafe with harbour views, and the beachfront outdoor tables are the spot to bring a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor, beachfront tables next to the sand. Indoor dining is people-only under NSW food rules, so plan on the terrace. Staff are known to be accommodating, but bring your own water bowl.

Good to know. It runs breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is well regarded for fresh seafood, fish and chips, and the harbour outlook. The cove setting is far calmer than the ocean beach, which suits a quieter meal.

Getting there. It is on Stuart Street at Little Manly. Metered street parking on Stuart Street and the surrounding streets is limited, and the larger council car parks in central Manly are a 10 to 15 minute walk. From Manly Wharf it is a short walk or taxi.

Nearby with the dog. Little Manly Beach has on-leash access, though restrictions can apply at peak times, so check the council signage on the day. The harbour reserves nearby give grassy space for a stroll before or after eating.

Little Manly is at its calmest on a weekday or early on weekends. Good for a relaxed harbour-side feed with the dog beside you.
