 Manning Point and "Its Islands of Paradise"
The approach to Manning Point from the highway follows a scenic route, crossing both Oxley and Mitchells Islands. These two islands form part of the Manning River’s rich delta and give it the unique privilege of being Australia’s only river system with two entrances.
The sea and the north arm of the Manning River meet at this idyllic spot. On the ocean side, long sandy beaches beckon swimmers and walkers, while the river side is a haven for boaties, oyster lovers and fishermen. There is four wheel drive access to the beach through Manning Point Reserve, but take care not to disturb the breeding area of the endangered Little Tern.
The main street of Manning Point edges the river and the wooden jetties offer a perfect spot to cast a line. Take the time to stop and watch the dolphins frolic. Catch up with friends at the licensed restaurant and visit the bowling club for dining and entertainment. The nearby café and gallery serves delicious coffee and light meals and the general store is open seven days for take-away and all your holiday needs.
Accommodation at Manning Point includes caravan parks, cabins, holiday units and cottages, all located within easy walking distance of the beach and river.
