Food Scene
All the places I recommend to eat - beware that everything gets booked up quickly over the holidays so I recommend early booking. Post COVID many restaurants are still offering takeaways - if you like your seafood and want to eat on the beach then I recommend Wheelers!
It serves gluten free and dairy free food and cakes, the staff are lovely and it has a beautiful little garden and is very relaxed
