Unwind with a great brew at a quiet cafe or step into the majestic Vue Grand for contemporary regional fare. Stock up on fresh produce at specialty shops and community markets, peruse the local boutiques, or grab a piping-hot parcel of fish and chips for a seaside picnic under the shade of giant foreshore pines.
