If you’re planning a day in Austinmer and want it easy, active and food-focused, this one’s for you...
Start with a sunrise swim at the ocean pools, then grab a coffee at @shellsaustinmer before heading up to hike Sublime Point for some fresh air and movement 🍃
Wrap things up with a late lunch and drinks at @headlandsaustinmerbeach - think relaxed coastal vibes, good food, cold drinks and plenty of time to linger.
Save this for your next Austinmer day out so you don’t have to plan it later! ☀️
*Sublime Point Track is currently closed for upgrades, however you can still enjoy the lookout & views from the top.
