Norfolk Point

Norfolk Point is a headland reserve that captures the essence of Brisbane's bayside lifestyle. Perched on Trafalgar Street in Manly, it offers a quieter alternative to the busier foreshore spots, with walking paths that wind through the reserve and deliver coastal vistas across the water.

Visitors consistently rate the spot highly, with a solid 4.6-star rating reflecting its appeal as a genuine local favourite rather than a tourist-trap draw. The appeal lies in its simplicity: scenic walking routes, open space to stretch your legs, and the kind of uncluttered views that make Brisbane's waterfront special. It's the sort of place where you'll see families, dog walkers, and people just after a bit of fresh air and perspective.

Norfolk Point suits anyone wanting a straightforward outdoor walk with a view—no booking, no fuss. It works equally well as a quick stop on a sunny afternoon, a spot to bring the kids for a run around, or part of a longer bayside wander through Manly. Given its location just south of the Brisbane CBD, it slots neatly into a broader coastal exploration of the area.
