Know more about the Wormhole in Queenscliff, one of Sydney’s secret spots.
Thinking of going somewhere new for you next adventure? Well, there is no need for you to look any further. Head over now to one of Sydney’s secret spots, the Wormhole in Queenscliff!
The Wormhole, also known as the Queenscliff Tunnel, was said to be constructed by local fishermen back in 1908. These local fishermen carved up this tunnel as a shortcut for them to reach Freshwater Beach up north from Manly. At present, the path towards Freshwater from the tunnel is blocked by rock falls, but it is still possible to climb across these rocks and make it to the beach.
The length of this secret tunnel is approximately 50 metres from the cliff to the other side. Visitors are allowed here but must remain cautious at all times. Also, please be guided that the shore found at the end is rocky and rough. This is why diving and jumping from the rock ledges is prohibited.
When you are done visiting the Wormhole, you can retrace your steps back to the wharf and the Manly Beach area for other activities and sites to view.
How to Get There
Upon arriving at Manly Beach, walk over to the far left of the shore and from a distance, you will see what appears to be like a dark spot. That is the Wormhole. Walk past the rock pool and climb the cliff. From there, walk towards the tunnel with a big pink heart graffiti painted on top. Enter the tunnel and walk straight ahead to see the breathtaking view at the end!
So, what are you waiting for? Visit Queenscliff Wormhole today. And who knows, you might find something new to do and even discover at the end of the secret tunnel!
