The Coastal Café Guide

Good Food. Sea Air. And 150 Very Good Reasons to Head to the Coast.

For anyone whose idea of a perfect day involves a walk by the sea followed by somewhere fabulous to eat, The Coastal Café Guide might just become their new favourite book.

This beautifully photographed guide brings together around 150 independent cafés, seafood shacks, beach bars, restaurants and pubs dotted around the coastlines of England, Scotland and Wales — many with glorious sea views and plenty welcoming dogs and families too.

From hidden beach cafés and brilliant seafood cabins to places worth planning an entire coastal detour around, each has been chosen with an emphasis on independent businesses, local food and low food miles.

There are 10 regional maps to help plan adventures, alongside beautiful full-colour photography and plenty of inspiration for discovering new stretches of Britain's coastline.

Whether you're a coast-path walker, wild swimmer, surfer, paddle-boarder, foodie, dog owner or simply someone who can never resist the words “shall we go to the seaside?”, this is one to keep in the car.
