A 10km ocean swim that hugs Sydney’s northern beaches, linking two iconic swim spots, Narrabeen and Shelly. This is a marathon with meaning, and it’s fast becoming one of the most rewarding challenges on the Aussie swim calendar.
Perfect for experienced swimmers chasing a true long-distance adventure, this point-to-point course isn’t just about distance; it’s about discovery. You’ll pass dramatic headlands, surf breaks, and secluded coves, all with a support paddler by your side and the wild Pacific rolling underneath. From the golden sands of Narrabeen to the clear blue calm of Shelly Beach, the terrain is stunning and the swim, unforgettable.
Expect a mix of conditions, from rolling swell to smooth stretches, and the chance to see marine life as you push through each stroke. It’s a test of fitness, ocean awareness, and mental strength, but also a celebration of what’s possible when preparation meets purpose.
Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list finish, training for an even bigger goal, or simply craving that deep sense of achievement only a long ocean swim can bring, this one’s worth every salty kilometre.
Celebrate your 10km epic the right way, with a salty float in the turquoise waters of Shelly Beach, followed by a beach towel sprawl under the pines. Then wander into Manly for a well-earned feast: grab fish tacos and a cold one at The Boathouse, refuel with a sourdough sandwich and smoothie from Market Lane Café, or go full recovery mode with a lazy lunch at Hugo’s overlooking the harbour.
Still got some legs under you? Stroll the scenic Manly to North Head trail for panoramic views (and a chance to walk off that burger). Or just kick back on the sand, relive the swim with your paddler, and soak up that post-marathon glow. This is one to savour.
