Great start to our day before hitting the coastal path ! Bacon bap and egg bap with 2 steaming hot cups of tea overlooking the beach. Our 2 dogs were made to feel most welcome as well and loved the attention. Super place .. love it here !

The perfect place to rehydrate after time on the beach or as part of a walk along the coastal path, also makes a great destination in its own right. Offering an extensive choice of hot and cold drinks, you can also enjoy ice creams, cakes and hot savoury dishes. There is indoor (don't overlook upstairs) and outdoor seating. The shop also sells a good range of beach items: shorties, toys, towels and everything else that you might need plus postcards and gifts. If you don't actually make it to the sand, this is still a nice place to visit. The staff are lovely and know the local area very well. Sensible prices make it an easy choice for drinks and maybe a snack. Excellent! The toilets are next door and run by a different organisation - 40p a visit (card payment) as of April 2024, but clean, tidy and well stocked and working. The car park is large, but so is the beach! Expect plenty of visitors when the weather is good and the surf is up.

I love this beach, it’s the best, it’s beautiful and the cafe is reasonably priced, perfect for a beach day. No it’s not super fancy it knows what it is and what it needs to be. You can buy hot chocolate, ice cream and beach necessities all in the same shop and get some lunch if you need.

We suggest everyone go here for buckets and spades, body boarding essentials, delicious ice cream and fabulous artworks. They serve excellent food we had the sausage and chips ! Highly recommend this place. The nicest hosts you could hope to meet. So kind to my family today who needed a Good Samaritan, we are really grateful to them. Finally it has the benefit of being on one of the prettiest beaches in wales. Thank you again
