Beach cafe

Hi all,
Just a small funny question ;)

My friend is living in Australia, and he claims that there is no Coffee house on the beach anywhere in Australia, so you can drink your coffee and watch and hear the ocean (coffee house with sea view from long distance doesn't count).

Is it really true?
or that you have a good example for such place.

Thanks.

Your friend obviously lives in the Outback! In Perth and its surrounds alone, there are too many beach side cafes to count. From Freo, to Scarborough, Hillarys - there are tons!!!!

My friend lives in Adelaide, maybe this is the problem.

No, Adelaide has some fabulous beaches - and cafes. Not sure if your friend is just winding you up x

There are surprisingly few on the Gold Coast strangely enough. However you can get a decent coffee at most of the surf clubs and they have bloody good sea views.

....and sometimes that's better than sitting in a cafe. My favourite thing is to get a take away coffee from what looks like a fairly grotty cafe over the road from Scarborough beach, but the Greek owner makes the best expresso, and then sit on a bench on the beach and enjoy it.

Tina, it's been so hot in Perth (hottest summer on record) that I've been quite envious when talking to the rellies in Liverpool, and they tell me how cold it is - I reckon the whole country should do a swap for a couple of months :D

I'd go for the swap but only for the next 10 days or so - I'm hoping for some sun when we arrive.

Don't think it would go down that well over there tho - it's only 0 by me, and feels like -5 :eek:

You'll get plenty of sun sparkles, although hopefully the 40+ days will be long gone - too much of a good thing, and all that!

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 2:48 am.
