  We loved walking around the harbor! I liked the restaurant next to Nick's Restaurant! I enjoyed the delicious well-done grilled salmon and Ann enjoyed the vegetarian pasta! Yummy for the tummy! They had Happy Hour prices for wine & beer!! We got to eat outside by the rail, so we had a great view as we dined! I loved it!

  Such a great place for water play for kids. Perfect for a hot day. The kids play zone is perfect for little and big kids. Nearby restaurants and amenities are added bonus. Not too far from public transport. Highly recommended.
