Another laid back brunch cafe on the esplanade. Menu is very limited but very reasonable. from $6.00. $9.00 mains. Small portions but with these prices, just double your order and you you still have money for coffee. And the coffee is great here.
Favorite Dish: Big Breakfast.

Cape otway is just past apollo bay and is about 3 hrs from Melbourne. It has a lighthouse and plenty of camp sites/bush walks. The areas forest are pretty lush and ate sort of like temperate rainforests............ Blanket bay is a good campsite where you can fish, snorkel, kayak etc. It is especially good for kids, as it is really the only calm/protected beach on this rugged coastline (just dont stand on any stingrays!) The waters here are famous for crayfish namely crayfish bay (its name has caused its demise i think) so get a fishing license and try your luck. You can dive for them on calm days (pretty rare) or rough days if you are crazy

Favorite thing: Since there was not a wave to be seen at Bells Beach, I turned my attention to the carpark, where this beautiful mural on the toilet block caught my eye.... The 2nd photo is a close up so you can appreciate some of the detail.
