Forty Baskets Beach

As you near the 10km mark on the Spit to Manly Coastal Walk you’ll be aching to dip your feet in the cold, clear water that’s been taunting you the whole way. If you can’t hold out for Manly you can always call time early and slip into the netted swimming pool at Forty Baskets Beach, so named for a particularly successful fishing day once upon a time.
