Awesome Mexican and super cheap $10 margarita cocktails. Always leave this place with a big smile on my face and a full belly. It gets busy quickly and they don't take bookings so we recommend you go there early put your name on the list and get a drink at Insitu while you wait :)

Dee Why beach is great, there are big grassy areas if you don’t feel like sitting on the beach, a kids playground on the south end, a rock pool with a shallow kids section. Lots of cafes and restaurants to pick from (see my favs in the food section).
