Pilot Bay Beach
Beach
👍 Great lead in to walk round the mount. Great for young families to take the kids to swim in as it has no surf to speak off. Ready access to downtown the mount which is only a block away.
Always a great place to watch the cruise ships and other vessels arriving at the port

👍👍 CHIDORI has made my day.
I had the pleasure of trying their Tan Tan Ramen and I implore you to try it. Spice level isn't too much so don't be afraid to give it a go. Best Ramen ever.
Thank you!

Restaurant
🫤 Beautiful food but taste was not good as I expected.
I loved the noodles and the food had good and fresh ingredients, but taste was just okay and I ate only half even though it was pricey.
The drink was tasty but it was full of huge ice, so I couldn’t have that much sips.
Only two tables outside wer...
