For breakfast, head to Stevie & Mali, where you can experience my absolute favourite taste explosion of savoury porridge. It is something I can’t describe so you’ll just have to taste it for yourself but I promise you that this option will set you up for the day ahead.
For a quick and easy lunch option, be sure to grab some takeaway chicken rolls from Char Grill Charlies and enjoy them down on the beach with the fam.

With plenty of outdoor seating, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze.
In the evening, head to Coogee Pavillion for their well known wood-fired pizza and drinks. This iconic venue offers a range of dining options, from casual eats to more refined dining experiences, and is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day.
