Top 5 Favourite Ice Cream Stops

Copenhagen Cones, 14 Adams Ave - On any summer day you'll see dozens of beachgoers lined up outside the door ready to cool off with a Copenhagen Cone.  Make sure you sample this iconic ice cream shop when you visit. Have your favourite ice cream or soft serve topped with whipped cream and sauces that melt in your mouth.


Gelatopia
, 1 Girven Rd - Experience the low-fat gelato’s or sorbets on offer at Gelatopia. My favourite flavour is cappuccino — so rich in flavour. I can’t get enough of it!



Wendy’s Supa Sundaes, 1 Girven Rd - Sundaes at their best with different combinations like flake shakes, but that’s not all: try an iceberg or a coffee chilla.




Skoops Ice Cream Bar
- All your favourite traditional ice creams in one place. Get the local scoop in Palm Beach Plaza.



Bella Mia Italian Pizzeria & Restaurant, 73 Devonport Rd - Bella Mia Restaurant makes their own gelato! This family-run eatery offers a true taste of Italy. Try their refreshing home-made gelato flavours (I suggest pear — so delicious!).
