Little Manly Beach

In 1809 surveyor James Meehan drew up two plots of land in the Manly area, one for Richard Chears and one for Gilbert Baker.

Richard Chears' land encompassed what we know today as Little Manly.

On Meehan’s field book drawing, ‘Little Manly’ is clearly written.

Over the years a constant process of renewal of the baths structure has taken place due to storm damage and natural depreciation, though there has continuously been an enclosure since the original construction.

The beach is a popular place for families because of the presence of the baths and a grassed picnic area, as well as a children's playground.
