WINTER SURFING AND MORNING COFFEE

A perfect start to winter on the Gold Coast, beautiful weather, nice waves, spectacular sunrises, 23 degree water temp and the aroma of fresh coffee in the air. They just go together surfing and coffee, over recent days I have had some great waves at TOS (south straddie), Main Beach and Miami, hitting it with a few mates super early and paddling out as the sun is coming up over the horizon. But after some nice waves the call always goes out "who's in for coffee". We are blessed to have a huge range of great coffee shops either on the beachfront or across the road from the beach and I have sampled many of them sipping on coffee and warming up in the morning sunshine.  Piccollo cafe at Miami was yesterdays location and I can recommend them for great coffee and fresh warm banana bread plus a good choice of other tasty delights. You find them at the southern end of Marine Parade at the base of the Miami surf club.  Some really nice sand banks out the front too.
