Eat out at many of the nice restaurants that are mostly found on the coastal areas. Barbecue facilities are found at all of the parks, even those not found on the beach. The Redcliffe Parade area is very trendy and boasts cool breezes, a great view to Moreton Island and many coffee shoppes.
Morgans in Scarborough is very popular and famous for it's seafood and fish n' chips.
Try Sails on Sutton's Beach in Redcliffe or The Golden Ox in Margate for fine dining.
