Fish and Chips by the Wynnum Wading Pool

Overview

Just a 30-minute drive out of Brisbane's CBD, Wynnum is well worth a day trip — for a splash and for some fish and chips. As far as the former is concerned, the shorefront pool fills with sea water, making it the perfect spot to dip your toes. And when it comes to the latter, you could easily enjoy a fish 'n' chip crawl of the area's abundance of greasy spoons. Pick from Cooper's, Baywatch Café, Pelican's Nest and Barramundi Boys, or order something from each place you pass as you walk along the Esplanade.
