Whether you fancy a meal, or just a drink over looking the sea The Buoy and Oyster is a great place to go. The balcony allows you to sit outside and enjoy the sea views, or if you would rather sit inside there is plenty of seating (however it may be good to book if you are eating). Additionally, there are live bands which play here (please check out their website).
