The Boathouse Palm Beach

Luckily you don't have to have a boat to make this your boathouse. There is something joyous about the Boathouse's whitewashed, coastal-chic interior and split-level decking overlooking Pittwater in all its watery glory. Barista James Hoy works wonders with a Single Origin Roasters custom blend. Try it short and black ($3.50) for a mellow, lemony fragrance with a smooth, slightly astringent finish. Tea is served in Japanese cast-iron teapots, and delivered on a wooden board. Come early for crisp bacon and egg buns, or linger over their famous fish 'n' chips, and grab some humbugs and bull's-eyes as you exit.
