YKO BBQ Chicken
375 McArthur Ave.This place has knock-out charcoal-bbq African chicken. Super tasty.
With a name like "Best Pizza" this place sort of sets itself up for a letdown, but it's actually pretty good. I'd recommend take-out, let's just say the eat-in situation is..low-key.

I LOVE this beach. Huge, never feels crowded, nice sandy beaches, gorgeous surroundings and you can access it via public transport, by bike*, or by driving.
