Drinks & Nightlife
It is a local favourite. Cozy boozy scene with live music and the best burgers in town. p.s. if you get the sweet potatoes fries - make sure you ask for the aioli dipping sauce.
Steve and Jenny are local owners who work hard. Worth a visit.

The County Canteen is amazing and has one of the liveliest patios (and impossible to get a seat at!) in PEC.
However - this is also jammed packed with tourists. It is worth a visit but locals avoid at all costs during the weekends.
Try Weds karaoke night if you want to hear how well the locals sing after a few pints!

It is just amazing. The beaches here are equal to the Caribbean!
The outlet is great for families as it has a very gradual sandy beach. You can rent paddles boards and kayaks to explore into East Lake.
The dunes beach is a great place to explore with sandy hills and beautiful trails. Beware the drop off though! There is a quick change in the depths and venturing to far can lead to weeds and danger.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE - the beaches are ridiculously busy!! If you want to visit on a weekend - and in particular a long weekend - you MUST BE THERE BEFORE 11. Otherwise you will not get in. If you want a more relaxing approach - head there after 4 p.m.

Parks & Nature
If you want a nice place to hike, walk your dog, mountain bike or run trails - this is a terrific place. Still fairly untouched by the tourist crowds.

Shopping
Bloomfield is the place to go for leisurely shopping and light snack. They have 3 lovely restaurants and Slickers ice cream.
Lots of interesting shops including 2 women's clothing shops, jewelry, kitchen and knick knacks.
There is also a new spa - but I hear you need a reservation well in advance!
