A practical South Bank day
PLAN AROUND THE POOL,NOT AROUND A RUSH.
This is a quick reopening update first, and a simple South Bank planning guide second. Keep an eye on official notices, then use the rest of the precinct at your own pace.
02
Make a day of South Bank
Pair the beach with a walk through the Parklands, the Cultural Precinct or Little Stanley Street. Leave room in the plan for a relaxed lunch or an early dinner.
03
Plan food around the swim
Start with coffee and brunch, or settle in after the beach for all-day dining and drinks at Poppies on Little Stanley Street.
Little Stanley Street
Make the beach day a proper day out.
Bring the family in for coffee and brunch before a swim, or linger over lunch, cocktails and a relaxed table after the beach.
Before or after Streets Beach
KEEP LUNCH EASY.
Poppies is made for the in-between moments: a family breakfast before the Parklands, a long lunch after the water, or an early table before moving on to the rest of South Bank.
