About

The Beach Restaurant offers a prime location with stunning harbour views, but reviews are highly polarised. While some diners enjoy the fresh seafood and friendly service, many others report poor quality fish and chips, frozen-tasting sides, and inconsistent service. It is often described as a tourist trap by dissatisfied customers, though those who have a good experience often praise the chowder and the view.

Great view, but the food was disappointing.

The chowder is a highlight.

Avoid the takeaway fish and chips.
