Great burgers & great coffee
Anna's
23 Cheriton PlSUPERB cakes and the perfect place for a cuppa! Great food too!
Not famous for its food, but a must-visit for it's location. You may or may not fancy the food, but to buy something and sit and enjoy the view on a breezier day, from behind their glass wind breaks, is well worthwhile. Great for watching the kids play on the beach!
