A stunning seafront location well worth a visit. Serving an extensive drinks menu from the bar inside, or from the shacks outside this is the place to be to watch the sunset. In the summer months I highly recommend grabbing a spot on the deck for a few sun down drinks and a wood fired pizza. The coffee is also really good. Beware however, the menu inside is slightly pricier, and whilst surrounding are undeniably gorgeous, food and service can be slightly hit and miss.
