The east coast, looking north from Chalky Mount
The Rugged East Coast The Ermy Bourne Highway hugs the east coast from Belleplaine at the northern end, through to Cattlewash. In the area of Belleplaine, stop by Sand Dunes, a friendly, casual roadside bar and restaurant run by Curtis Hall – they serve ice cold drinks and the tastiest fresh grilled fish with macaroni pie. Further along the Ermy Bourne Highway is Cattlewash and its wild, Atlantic seascape, with the spectacular clay escarpment of Chalky Mount, rising up dramatically inland. The quaint, seaside village of Bathsheba is just over the hill. In the middle of the bay is Soup Bowl – a favourite surf spot with top surfers from around the world! Have lunch at Round House in Bathsheba, or at Naniki near Horse Hill. Another first-class stop for lunch on the east coast is the historic Atlantis Hotel in Tent Bay. Having undergone an extensive and thoughtful renovation in recent times, Atlantis still retains its unique charm and famous buffet lunches!
