The Wharf Local

Set inside a cargo shed on Tathra's historic wharf, this cafe comes with personality to spare. Run by sisters Emma and Poppy Benton, the establishment exudes country charm – but with a big-city twist.

The forward-thinking menu uses produce from local suppliers, Emma and Poppy's close friends. Meanwhile, the space distracts with ocean views and an art gallery showcasing the creative talents of Sapphire Coast locals.

This is the kind of place where you could order a cake and coffee, or a glass of bubbles while watch whales offshore, buy a painting, and then walk along the sand back to your base. The ultimate all-rounder.
