Restaurants and Pubs
Ocean Road is famous for its many curry houses and ,of course, iconic fish and chips restaurant Colemans.
Colmans also has an upmarket restaurant by the seafront.
A little further along the coast road the caves at The Marsden Grotto Pub tell a rich history of smugglers; the caves were a hiding place for all manner of contraband in bygone times including French Brandy and cigarettes!
The Grotto is now a pub and restaurant; the walls are literally carved out of the caves. The external stairs are very steep and traverse the cliff side but there is a lift for a modest fee.

A file containing instructions of all household appliances can be found in the kitchen and a guest file on the entrance table is full of suggestions for places to eat, drink and visit.
