The Breakwater Beach Club at North Haven Surf Life Saving Club is a standout spot for families looking for an easy, relaxed bite tite to eat by the sea. With heaps of parking and a laid-back coastal feel, it’s perfect for everything from breakfast dates to casual dinners. Opening hours are super family-friendly too: Wednesday 9am till late, Thursday 9am till late (hello 5pm quiz night!), Friday and Saturday 8am till late, and Sunday 8am till 6pm. It’s the kind of place you can drop into without overthinking, sandy shoes and all and expect some great value for money.
Inside, there’s loads of flexible seating to suit families of all sizes, including big round tables for groups, booths, standard tables, a large bar and a big screen projector. High chairs are available, and there’s even a small indoor kids’ play area with train sets, a play kitchen, games, Uno and colouring (pencils and paper supplied, yes please!) Outside is a dream for kids, with shaded seating, a huge grassed area to burn off energy, a basketball ring and an old rowing boat that’s perfect for imaginative play while parents actually get to sit and relax.
The menu seals the deal for families. There’s a kids menu for $15 including a pop-top juice, with the pasta with sauce being a clear favourite in our crew, fresh, simple and absolutely devoured. The bruschetta and fresh salads were also big winners, and grown-ups will love the fun cocktail list, especially the new Algae Bloom cocktail with its sea-foam look and delicious taste. Add in a gelato bar for dessert and you’ve got a beachside family meal that’s easy, fun and totally kid-approved.
