La Marina is easily the best restaurant in Airlie Beach! It’s a family-owned restaurant that makes customers feel apart of their family after one visit! Not to mention the mouthwatering, flavorful, and comforting food and drinks! My personal favorite is the Pescatore Risotto. The food is fresh and made with love. Don’t miss out on this spot during your holiday to Airlie!
