Getaway Ideas

Relaxed Weekend Getaway

Slow down… relax …. reconnect with loved ones and friends, go for beach walks, eat well & breathe…

Come over Friday, make the most of the weekend

Make dinner reservations at Whales Way Restaurant to unwind on Friday night. Saturday morning, instead of rushing around home packing, you’ll already be here. Take a walk on the beach or around the Gorge Walk before breakfast at Fishes Cafe.
