Charlies On East

Perched right on the Port Fairy shoreline, Charlies On East delivers hearty coastal plates with front-row views of the rolling surf. Locals head straight to the covered balcony deck after a morning beach walk, dogs in tow, settling in for a laid-back brekky or casual seafood lunch. The kitchen doesn't skimp on volume—expect towering burgers that demand a knife and fork, battered flathead tails with crunchy chips, and bowls of warming seafood chowder. Between the ocean breeze and the easygoing crew, it's an unpretentious waterfront perch where meals stretch effortlessly over fresh juice and the rhythmic tide.
