A delightful eatery right on the beach. The food was great, the service excellent and the view out across the bay amazing. The staff were friendly and professional despite it being very busy, making the atmosphere even better

Only had a coffee but very nice, reasonably priced. Sat on the decking over the sand and lost ourselves people watching. Plenty of food being served, empty plates when people left so must have been at least reasonable. Friendly and polite staff.

Wow what a lovely place on the seafront, came to Weymouth today for a day visit and stopped here for breakfast and had the best bacon and sausage bap and at such a reasonable price too that I ended up ordering another one and then came back at lunch and had a mr whippy Ice cream followed by a lovely burger and chips. Definitely recommend this place for food and drinks and staff are really friendly too. Can’t wait to come back again in the summer holidays

Beautiful little cafe right on the Weymouth beach, this results in a stunning views of the Weymouth town and harbour and the distant rolling hills, fields and cliffs. Food is good, ranging from breakfast, full meals to take aways. We'll recommended …

Even though it wasn't the best day to visit due to the weather.The drinks and food were great and it was lovely sitting and watching the kids play on the sand.
