Authentic Japanese Ramen and Sake. The best veggie tempura I have ever had! Also a great wine list, if you want a chill dinner and glass of wine.

Shopping

Visit Surf City - Roxy, Quiksilver, Billabong, Rip Curl, Ghanda, Patagonia and more! Torquay is rich in surf history, being the birthplace of some of these brands. Surf City well worth a visit in the main stores, as well as the outlets (in Baines Crescent) - as the locals do!! Tucked in behind is a Surf Museum in the information centre also well worth a look!

Sightseeing

Visit the original home of surfing, and the beach home to the longest surfing competition. Lovely to look at, however best to leave this one for the pros!! If you want to extend the walk, there is a path that begins at Jan Juc Bird Rock carpark and walks all the way to Bells (approx 7km return)

Following the walking path from Salty dog, there are two children's playgrounds. One is on the Esplanade between Zeally Bay Rd, and Gilbert Street. This is shaped like a ship. One is near Anderson street on the Esplanade, parallel to the Norfolk Pine trees.
