Couldn't recommend this more for great breakfast and coffee. This is our institution. It gets busy. Fab trendy little cafe. Indoor area caters for groups and smaller intimate tables at front. Also has an outdoor undercover courtyard. Does a very nice lunch, little exy but delicious food! Their pastries and goodies in the display cabinets are worth checking out!

Arguably north shore's best family beach. We LOVE this place. Awesome foodie places, good coffee, great fish n chips (bit exy but yum!) and the beach is flat and theres a netted off area for swimming if you prefer. Lovely walks and playground. Wide paths for scootering and bikes. Highly recommend. Parking can be expensive on weekends. There are freebies if you are lucky.

Stunning water and sand. Great surf. Kid friendly patrolled beach too though.
Highly recommend scootering or biking along the path to Shelley beach. Stunning views and theres a great restaurant located there for a rewarding ice cream, lunch or drinks.
