Emma's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Relax on the beach, swim in the usually calm waters, talk a walk in the sand, hire a paddle board, take a kite surfing lesson, or play on the playground with the kids. The far end of the beach is great for surfcasting on the right tide and where dogs are allowed. Just a 40min walk along the water from home or 4min drive.

For the best views of Nelson and Richmond take a hike up the Grampians. The paths are well made and the south side has lovely native forest. My 5yo nephew hikes up with his Dad to collect tadpoles from the pond

Sitting over the water gives beautiful sunset views and delicious meals. Treat yourself! Be sure to request a balcony table to make the most of the view. Just a 10-15 min walk home so order the bottle ;)

The best coffee in town, Sublime is the locals' favourite... If coffee shops had speakeasys this would be one disguised as a cottage. Just a 10 min walk from home, they roast their own beans and you can take a wander back along the waterfront with views of the boulder bank, lighthouse and Haulashore Island
