Stoney's as a perfect summer day



About an hour south of us is Stoney's located on Broome Island directly south-east of the city. We hadn't planned anything especially ambitious for the holiday weekend with two sets of grandparents in town, so we wanted to have a "day at the beach" without crossing the bridge.

After a lovely morning on the beach at Flag Pond where the little one took his first swim in the wild, we headed to Stoney's out on the water. It's a great location for families and children, with extensive grounds along the water to roam, fish in the bay to gaze upon and plenty of casual outdoor seating overlooking the pretty waterfront. We dined on seafood galore: baseball-sized crab cakes, softshell crabs, oysters and the delicious blackened rockfish gyro with feta and crisp veggies. The beer flowed freely and even in the 100 degree heat there was a lot of shade and a nice breeze.

Child friendly? For sure, it's ideal, with kid friendly food, plenty of places to wander and play and a location near some fun parks like Flag Pond and the Cypress Swamps. It's a great day away with the kids and a perfect one for the adults.
