Yummy fresh local seafood, casual atmosphere, live music, waterside dining, on site ice cream and gift shop. Friendly staff. This place is cash only - there is an ATM inside if needed. The queue to sit outside in the summer months can be scary but it moves really quickly, you can grab a drink at the bar whilst you wait and it's worth it once you get to enjoy good food next to the water.

Order your food from a converted boat then head up to the deck or one of the many tables right next to the ocean. Amazing sunsets! The food is fresh and tasty, they have some great veggie options too. Table side Smores are yummy and there is even blankets to wrap yourself up in on a cooler evening. BYOB. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
