    Moreish Cupcake Bakery

    Pick up a cupcake from Moreish. The line moves fast, and the local flavors are worth the brief wait. It is a sweet start before the main event.

    White Rock Lookout

    Walk up to White Rock Lookout. This is the highest point in town, marked by a large silo with a blue mural. The 21-minute walk from the center is steep but gives you the best vantage point. Find a spot facing west to catch the full view of the sun setting toward the WNW.

    Mifflin's Tea Room

    Head to Mifflin's Tea Room. The cool evening air after watching the sunset calls for something warm. Their patio is ideal for relaxing, and the quality coffee or tea will keep you comfortable as you reflect on the view.
