This little sushi spot is an extra 5-10 minute walk down Agricola St. towards the North End, and well worth it. It only has a 4 seater bar, so take out may be required. Two person operation, with delicious sushi and the karage (fried chicken) is especially yummy.

About 30 minutes from my place. One of my favourite beaches. On a good day, white sand, decent temperature, full sun. And the drive if you take Highway 3 from Exit 5 is really pretty.

When you're ready for lunch there is Salvatore's for pizza or Hamachi for sushi.
