Great coffee at Hangtime (bring your own cup for a discount drink), surf shop (Edge), shop selling gorgeous trinkets and souvenirs (Ella's) and the Sideshore Community Hub that runs regular events (check out their Facebook page to keep up). There is also a bakery and restaurant. The area is busy on weekend mornings, especially when Parkrun is on."

"Celebrated a birthday at Mickeys and what a meal in a wonderful location overlooking the sea. The decor is fabulous and befits the location. Wonderful food with great service. What more can you ask for. It was not a significant birthday but will definitely be memorable. All my thanks to the team at Mickeys - it was my birthday!"

"Under construction but looking great, the new buildings look fantastic on the shoreline and the construction work has been done respectfully, they even did a great job of decorating their barriers :). I can't wait to make use of the new facilities when they open they will be a long aeaot d and much needed addition to the seafront here"
