Sightseeing
The Roberts Creek General Store is at the heart of the Roberts Creek Village. The store itself may not feel like a tourist attraction, but the area is fun and interesting. It is home to a few small shops, and the famous Gumboot cafe and restaurant. Just down towards the water is the Roberts Creek Mandala and pier.

Cliff Gilker park is a wonderful park to go for a gentle stroll/walk in the woods. You will see a beautiful small waterfall and have plenty of options when it comes to how much or how little you feel like walking in the woods. Our family goes for walks here on a regular basis, we love it! It is good for young children as there is a little playground at the trail entrance and if your little one likes to walk, it isn't too intense.
