Most Northern Beaches outings start with a drive, but lawn bowls is one where the Manly ferry can do the work. Rock 'n Bowl Manly hosts its barefoot sessions at 59 Raglan Street in Manly, at the southern tip of the beaches, which puts it within walking distance of the wharf for guests coming from the city and a straightforward drive down from Dee Why, Brookvale or Mona Vale.
The green is set up for adults rather than families, and sessions are the same length for everyone: an hour and 45 minutes, equipment included. How the afternoon plays out depends mostly on your head count.
Which beaches groups it suits:
For groups up at Palm Beach or Mona Vale, Manly sits at the far southern end of the peninsula, so it pays to make a full afternoon of it rather than a quick stop. Platters from the club need ordering and paying for at least 14 days ahead, which is easiest to sort when the booking is made.
Rock 'n Bowl Manly runs sessions on the Raglan Street green in Manly. It is close to the wharf, which makes it easy for guests from the city as well as those driving from further up the beaches.
A council car park sits beside the club. Most Northern Beaches groups drive, so carpooling from the northern suburbs keeps things simple.
Sixteen or more players, with a week's notice. Below that, groups of up to 15 get an introduction from a games officer and play at their own pace.
Yes, if you want it. Share platters from the club need to be paid for a fortnight or more ahead, and BYO food and drink is not allowed.
