The Sunshine Coast is full of fantastic beaches.
You've probably heard of Noosa Beach or Mooloolaba Beach but my favourite beach is Kawana Beach.
Kawana Beach is also the stomping ground of Australian Surf lifesaving champion Jeff Lemarseny.
If you come here of a morning and look at the ocean, you'll probably see Jeff training
hard for his next event.
I'm about to go and meet Jeff at the cafe he owns with his wife, Dani.
It's called One on La Balsa.
Hi Christina, how are you doing?
Good to see you.
Come and have coffee with us.
So you liked it so much you built a cafe here?
That's correct.
My background is a building background.
The council at the time had a pretty good plan set up to develop commercial pockets
in the area.
More commmercial pockets.
It's a cafe with four apartments.
We have a huge local following from the surrounding area.
From day one it really kicked.Myself and my wife, Dani, and our manager Nicki, run it
with a staff of approximately 18 all locally employed people.
The food is traditional breakfast meals, bacon and eggs and there's also specials like corn
cakes.
Lunches are an array of chicken, steak, seafood and we have three specials every day.
And a huge selection of cakes and the best coffee on the coast.
That's funny though.
Our cakes are pretty healthy.
A lot are gluten free and a fair few are sugar free.
A lot love goes into our product.
In this business we have play and work combines together.
Saturday and Sunday is a fantastic time as we are mixing with a lot of local people through
the cafe have become our friends.
That's why we try and keep it to the basics.
Good healthy food.
How about your top tips on what to do on the Sunshine Coast?
Five things that you really like.
The Sunshine Coast has 50 things I like.
My love of the ocean always means I'm out on the ocean.
Even taking trips to Noosa is a favourite.
There's the markets at Noosa.
Even going to Montville or Maleny.
If a friend of yours was coming up from Sydney, where would you take them?
If a friend of mine was coming up from Sydney you'd have to go up to Noosa, I'd go to the
beach, up the river, if you have a boat go fishing, walk the point, Point Cartwright.
The coast is one of those places you don't need to plan.
You can just come here and chill out.
Hi, I'm Dani.
I look forward to seeing you at One on La Balsa soon.
