Good coffee and fantastic views, after a long walk down it’s a good spot to grab break and with a sensible range of snacks and fresh donuts in a clean little coastal hut! If the tides out you’ll find the ice cream van on the beach !

What a lovely location for a cuppa and a sandwich. On hot busy days be prepared for a longer wait. It was lovely coffee and sandwiches.

A brew with a view. Stopped off here to admire the view. Got a great cuppa Rosie Lee served by a pleasant gentleman. Then just sat watching the world go by, heaven.

Lovely friendly service at this takeaway shack with fabulous beach views. It is sited overlooking the beach and has benches alongside. Serves hot and cold drinks, milkshakes, homemade soup, jacket potatoes, toasted Paninis and sandwiches. All very reasonably priced. The food is made up fresh, not pre wrapped in plastic and you are given a buzzer for when your order is ready to collect. I had free range egg and freshly ground black pepper sandwich on brown. The bread was lovely, soft and fluffy and they were really generously filled. For £4 it was a bargain and very tasty to boot. Great place to sit and have your lunch right by the sea. Shall definitely revisit and would recommend. One of the best sandwiches I have had, eeee, grand!
