If you’re after an all-day beachside breakfast in Port Macquarie, check out Sandbox. Open 7am-3pm, this aptly-named cafe sits right on Flynns Beach, offering a picture-perfect vantage point of surfers and waves. Accessible via a short walk from the main road or a drive down a one-way access road, it’s a simple yet sweet spot that is also dog-friendly.
