Our absolute favourite walk that takes you to the beach - inside the Goose Spit. About 3-4 km there and back. Access on Cortez Crescent.
Text me and I can send you a map of a 5-6km walk that I do that takes me down the creek over the spit and back home.

Great selection of drinks and a good vibe. Food is OK - not the best. We prefer the food at Land and Seas. But the deck is spectacular in the summer and on colder days with heaters.
