We enjoyed the day tip but sadly the Leamington Beach was in accessible to park or have our morning coffee break. The icecream sample at Milkers Bakery was not up and working yet. We found the order of going to places odd as we were back tracking to go to the next activity. We added going to Colasantis because it was t warm enough to go to the beach stop. FYI - we had to detour way off Hwy 3 because the road was closed .
