The fish is nearly always locally sourced and changes with the seasons. I have never bought anything there that I didn't find delicious.

If you want to experience a busier style day trip, Cabarita Beach is a ten minute drive north along the coast road and has cafes, restaurants and a beautiful boardwalk up to Norries Headland to view the whales performing in whale season. Once we saw a whale swim right into the bay and have a little look at the surfers there.

This is a lovely little walk right on our doorstep. We usually walk to the back gate from ours which takes about 15 minutes but you can also drive to the gate. There is a map with the route marked in the folder.
We recently took some friends for this walk and a koala walked out onto the track in front of us and ambled along for a bit before choosing a tree to climb. We have also seen wallabies and echidnas along these tracks. And a walk wouldn't be a walk if you didn't see some birds along the way. There is a short and a long walk, both clearly signed, but neither is very far or arduous. You could even safely take a wheelchair.
