Huge multi zone pub/bar. Head to the rooftop to drink cocktails with the beautiful people or stay on the ground floor for a casual drink. A kids play area at the back of the ground floor can distract toddlers just long enough for you to enjoy a beer. Yummy pizzas

Our local beach. Walk down Clovelly RD for 15 mins or jump on a bus outside Crust Pizza and you’ll be there in 3 mins (bus 338 or 339). Families with little one love the waveless beach and everyone else loves swimming and snorkelling and lazing on the concrete deck. You can see the resident groupers when you snorkel here.
