The Jolly Sailors is a refreshing break from the norm – retaining much of its original rustic character despite having been spruced up. The open fire provides a focal point and the 'Children, Dogs and Well Behaved Parents' sign reminds you all are welcome. The menu is simple but it works well….local oysters from beds out front.

A terrific pit-stop for families, beach bums and coastal walkers.
