Malibu

A short walk from Wamberal Beach is a sunny, welcoming cafe that opened in June 2020, offering a daily menu of just-walked-off-the-beach specials — like a choccie milkshake and fries for ten bucks, and house-made cookies and juicy burgers that the locals are loving.

The owner relocated from Sydney to open up the corner eatery, serving up healthy brekkie and brunch plates like beetroot cured ocean trout with pickled fennel avocado and rye, next to not-so-healthy bacon and egg rolls and ham and cheese croissants.

It's an everyone-is-welcome venue, and the carefully executed dishes are familiar enough to have broad appeal, while each dish looks as Instagram-worthy as the beachside views.

Malibu is open daily from 7am, and lunch is served from 11am onwards. Coffee is by Five Senses and it also has organic, fair trade loose leaf teas by Love Tea.
