Simple cafeteria with a beautiful view of the beach and the sea. You order at the counter, pay immediately, take your drinks, food is brought to your table. The service was friendly. I found the prices a bit high for a self-service cafe. There was an unpleasant smell in one part of the interior, near the entrance to the restrooms. There were probably problems in the men's room. Ladies room was fine though.

Real hidden gem! For some reason Google location is not correct it should be closer to the beach (///prescribe.assets.extensive). The coffee at our hotel down the coast is not great, here, the coffee is super smooth and really cheap! The cakes are also a great little pick-me-up until lunchtime. As of November 2024, 2 coffees and 2 cakes are €5.

Good food at a reasonable price and a lovely location right on the beach. It does get quite busy and crowded at peak times though.
