Our new favourite coffee shop. The dark chocolate mocha is amazing, all the food we have had is excellent and the patio is the cutest. Not to mention, the art displays are always changing.

One of our personal favourites. This place has a tapas type menu that changes approximately every two weeks, so great to share. We have enjoyed every dish, and they have a selection of vinyl that you can choose to play. Its loud and busy, but we highly recommend it. Also many of the choices are able to be vegan and/or gluten free

Sightseeing
A beautiful beach with “singing sands” that has a boat run splitting the beach. The most popular activity is bridge jumping into the run, where the tide carries you back to shore. One of our favourites and a lot of fun for kids.

This is a beautiful spot with great views and a lighthouse to tour. If you time it right, it’s also really interesting to see the tides collide.

There is a beautiful wooden boardwalk that ends with a walk up to a delightful beach. A little more secluded because it takes a bit more effort to get there, but it is a fun and worthwhile walk.

Fun little stop with delicious preserves, etc. all set up for free sampling. I don’t know anyone, who hasn’t left with at least one jar of preserves.
They have a gorgeous garden that is free to walk around, although they do have a jar for donations at the gate. There is also a butterfly conservatory that has an extra cost. I highly recommend taking at least a bit of time to explore this beautiful garden.

This beach is typically very busy but it’s beautiful and quite close to the Happy Place. As well, as it is a National Park, there are some fun kids activities and learning opportunities.

If you are travelling with kids, this is a worthwhile stop. Not only do they sell some unique and fun products, they make wooden toys in the back. Kids can assemble a piece free of charge, that they can then purchase and have personalized or simply have it put in the store for sale. We did this on a rainy day and would recommend it.
