Summer by the sea tastes even better along the Blue Mile - here are some of the best spots to sip, snack, and soak up the sunshine:
🍹 @pepesonthebeach: Beachfront cocktails and vibrant, sun-soaked dining right by the sand.
⚓ @theboathousenorthwollongong: A favourite for long lunches with coastal flavours and ocean breezes.
🦞 @lagoonrestaurant: Seafood classics served at an iconic waterfront setting beside Stuart Park.
🥂 @harbourfrontrestaurant: Elegant dining overlooking Wollongong Harbour - perfect for balmy evenings out.
Save this for your summer holiday eats!
