  • Steps From Carrum Beach and Playground

    Situated right across from Carrum Beach and the foreshore playground, it serves as a natural stop for lunch or dinner around coastal outings.

    Carrum beach with playground is a step away, so we could jumped into waves, run our kids and enjoy summer with a glass of wine from the bar
