A little hidden gem, only a 5 minutes walk along the boardwalk. It is hidden away on an upper balcony at Shingley Beach Resort. Gourmet pastries and cakes and great coffee. Great spot for catching cooling breezes with a view of Abel Point Marina.

It's so close! A pleasant 5-10 minutes stroll along the Cannonvale Esplanade will take you to this quirky little cafe. It is extremely popular and has excellent views over Cannonvale Beach and the Coral Sea. It does get quite warm early during summer mornings, so I prefer to go mid morning or lunch time.

Drinks & Nightlife
Probably one of the most popular bars in town for back-packers and budget travellers. The food is surprisingly good value- generous portions and fresh. You may also catch a live band during the evening.

One of the region's most popular live music venues. It's a small venue so don't go if you are looking to have long private discussions! Popular for their steaks.

Parks & Nature
Laid back beach just a short walk from Villa Nautica. In summertime, the council puts up a stinger net for safe swimming. It is quite tidal so make sure you pick high tides for swimming. Great kiddies playground and BBQ facilities too.
