    Although this place looked promising and also given the fact that it had very good reviews I was not too impressed! First of all there was quite a bit of a queue plus there seem to be only one person at the frying station. More...More

    Fantastic oysters and lobster in great atmosphere

    went there on a spontaneous trip on a September weekend. Great seafood and chips and to our surprise excellent dessert (freshly prepared doughnuts with ice cream). tables are right next to the beach and it's protected from wind.

    Yes a short walkaway there is a large public car park you do have to pay but it is very reasonable. On one day Thursday I think part of the car park is used for a market. Very interesting but uses parking places.
