Can't beat this place. Park at the Quay car park. Walk along the beach with the dog having a swim. End at Gun Hill kiosk with a lovely bacon roll and coffee.Plus dog gets a "dog sausage." What more can you want? Fantastic!

Just the ticket! If the sun shines (or it's not raining) it's open! Great coffee/cakes/ice creams but brunch is amazing; try bacon in ciabatta roll with a mug of coffee! Friendly staff, al fresco seating.

This is one of three beach kiosks along Southwold beach. Two of which are run by a family, this is one of them. Been coming here a few years now. Always have a tea and a bacon roll, reasonable price for Southwold. Sea View never changes. Surprised it was open on a weekday in December, It was a nice day though so they open depending on the weather at this time of year. Tea and roll are consistent quality. Always a pleasure to come here on a nice day.
