Manly Beach in Sydney.

The short version, from the cited sources

Manly fronts the Pacific at the seaward edge of Sydney's northern beaches, reached most famously by the harbour ferry from Circular Quay. The beach runs roughly two kilometres beneath a double row of Norfolk Island pines, hosting year-round surf culture and one of the sport's oldest competition histories: the site is tied to surfing's early growth in Australia. A sheltered harbourside beach and a shoreline walkway to Shelly Beach sit minutes from the ocean front.
