A recently renovated pub which is now a great dining and entertainment venue. Enjoy a beer or wine in the beer garden downstairs, or a cocktail and tapas at Frankie's Rooftop. There's also an old world bistro out the back, which is great for those colder months. You'll also catch live bands local down there on the weekends. https://www.bayviewwoywoy.com.au/index.php

Parks & Nature

Only 4 minutes drive away, this is a great local beach with some beautiful walking and bike paths winding along the beach front reserve. It's not a surf beach but is great for a cool dip on a hot summers day. We really like the part of the beach near the ferry wharf where you can also find a shady spot under the trees. Great for picnics too.
