Boardwalk Beach Club

Cafe

😠 Very disappointing! I was looking forward to some lunch by the seafront and its unfortunate this is the only establishment in the area. They seem to take advantage of the lack of competition by jacking their prices up and not really caring about customer service. I ordered a sausage and haggis roll...
