By night (something not fully exploited by our clients) the space has been used as a stylish bar/live music venue or private function space.

The retail and takeaway is a real summer gem and very popular given the location within a 2 minute walk of the beach. Lock up unit of (9m x 3m) with ample space for beach goods both inside and out (on the terrace) plus takeaway section.

The business has been transformed by our clients who took on the original beachshop business and have since undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment to create a vibrate venue that appeals to locals and visitors alike. During their first year they have proved that the sea shack is popular year round with the local customers very supportive of their sunday music events and private functions. This year, due to family commitments and a very busy summer season our clients have decided to close to recoup and will reopen again unless a new operator is found in the meantime. Ample opportunity exists to enjoy both the strong underlying business already created and to build on the cooler months and extended opening.
