Good coffee, great breakfast deal - cooked breakfast and a coffee for $18. Once you've ordered, head outside into the sunshine - you can't see it from the street. but head out the side door of the cafe and follow the path to outdoor seating.

This is the only beach in the area that is surf patrolled in summer. Across the road and further from the house again (2 min walk from carpark) is the Brighton Cafe and the general store.
