The coast with the most? If you’re talking standout locals dedicated to raising the bar for their community, the Central Coast just might be it. That means markets with stalls and pop-ups from makers and shakers, burgeoning independent bottle-shops, good old-fashioned fishmongers, sunny gelato parlours and more. And that’s before you get to the beachside bakeries, the artisan butcher moonlighting as one of the region’s finest restaurants, or the cocktail bars with big-city energy.
