seaside cafes

Beachfront dining spots

Seaside cafes are casual eateries located along coastlines, boardwalks, or beaches, typically offering simple fare and outdoor seating with ocean views.

The phrase evokes a relaxed atmosphere of vacation spots and coastal towns: We spent the afternoon at a seaside cafe watching the waves.

The appeal lies as much in the setting as the food.
