Fairlight lies between Balgowlah and Manly on both sides of Sydney Road. The suburb reaches north past Balgowlah Road and the western boundary is Hill Street. 

There are many centres nearby for shopping and entertainment, Stocklands Centre in Balgowlah, Warringah Mall in Brookvale and Manly Village moments away. The best transport options from here are the Manly fast ferry or buses to the Sydney CBD.

Fairlight Beach is popular for swimming and snorkelling and scuba diving. 

A quiet beachside suburb for those who prefer a peaceful environment rather than the faster pace of nearby Manly.
