We'd definitely recommend a walk down Cuba Street and surrounding area. You'll find great coffee and a wide range of places to eat and mingle. It's also a great place to shop and people watch!

Worth a visit, along with a stroll through the Botanical Gardens. The Rose Garden there has a café and I always enjoy visiting the Begonia House glasshouse.

Parks & Nature
It's worth putting half a day aside for this easy coastal walk to Red Rocks and fur seal colony. The seals can usually be seen between May and October. I wouldn't get too close to the seals though : )

If you're interested in birdlife and a keen walker, this is just a quick trip up the hill and delightful on a beautiful day. I hear the glow worm night tour is an experience if you haven't done this before.
