Dee Why

Today Lynda was off to meet friends on the North Shore so Diane and I travelled with her and then went off to see what we could find. Dee Why was a beautiful spot and one where I do not think I had ever been before. Diane had a Great Aunt who used to live at Dee Why when she was a child but all had changed since then. Lots of high rise accommodation and quite a trendy beachside shopping centre with lots of cafes and restaurants.

We decided it was time for lunch and discovered Sea la Vie cafe on The Strand overlooking the beach. Diane had Spinach and cheese in a puff pastry case with a salad garnish and a skim Cappuccino and I had French crêpe filled with chilli con carne topped with melted cheese and served with a side salad and a latte. The service was very good, cheerful staff and very fast and the meals were excellent. A good spot to go again, although it is about 90 minutes from home.

Afterwards, we walked along the beach, up the hill to gain better views and back down onto the rock platform and along by the three rock pools. There were lots of families and friends just enjoying the beautiful day. Dee Why is a spot I would like to explore further. Unfortunately we did not have the camera with us today but will be sure to take it next time.
