This is great for old and young. It can get very busy so we recommend going early to avoid the crowds, or late in the afternoon. If you are there at dusk it is amazing watching the sunset from the hill top spa!

Parks & Nature
A secret beach that is primarily used by the locals and is only a short walk from the house. This is the back beach rather than the bay so also gets waves for those keen.

Great for walks and bike riding (hire available), this park is both beautiful and historic. Visit various forts , a quarantine station or simply enjoy the secluded picnic spots and views.

Food Scene
Saint Ernest has THE best coffee on the Blairgowrie Strip and is also well known for its food offerings. It is on the more expensive side but has a modern feel. The only real downside is that there are no highchairs for those with young children.

This is a great eat-in or take away option. The pizza is really good and often quicker than the fish and chips next door!

Shopping
We absolutely Cape Merchants and adore this store. It is very Sorrento with Artwork, Clothing, Furniture, Games, Candles and Homewares. While it is on the Main Street it is set back from the road and is missed by many.
