On a stunning viewpoint overlooking Swanpool Nature Reserve and Beach which - important information this - is one of only eleven brackish lagoons in Britain, a fact mentioned only to draw attention to the contrast provided by the Indaba on the Beach which would not look out of place alongside Bonzi Beach. In the nicest possible way this is an ideal haunt for beach bums, but without the poverty. You can have a few beers, maybe a sandwich, bowl of chowder or you can push the boat out and have lunch between 12.00-2.30 and in the evenings meals are served between 6.30-9.30.

The menu carries heavy overtones of the sea with International influences, so think grilled fillet of mackerel served on a bed of hern infused couscous with homemade pesto, pan roasted Cornish scallops with pea puree, Spanish morcilla and apple jelly or poached rolled fillet of lemon sole served on orange glazed fennel and butter.

The food is supported by a good range of beers and wines, there are tapas all the time, and the decking is sandy and user-friendly, like the livin'.
