Bay Harbour Cafe

If you enjoy having fish and chips by the water, then you can't go past the Bay Harbour Cafe in Nelson Bay. It is situated literally metres from the water and opposite where the fishing trawlers come into the bay, to offload their catch to sell at the local seafood outlets.

It is so close to the water that you can sit at your table and watch dolphins swimming by, pelicans bobbing along and cormorants standing on the rocks, drying their wings.
