Parkdale Beach Cafe @ Kiosk

Parkdale Caf is one of the few places in Melbourne where you can get coffee and a meal on the beach side of the road. There are sweeping views across the Bay and the coffee and food is much improved over the past couple of years. There is a cosy fire in winter. Other competitors to think about are Ricketts Point teahouse (which has decline in standards recently) and the cafs at Half Moon Bay and Sandringham beach. Doyles at Mordialloc also overlook the water.
