Blue Swimmer

Top choice in South Coast NSW


A short walk from Seven Mile Beach, this timber-adorned cafe-restaurant impresses through attentive service and perfectly executed seafood. Familiar breakfast dishes come with a twist (like spelt waffles or porridge with rhubarb), while lunch and dinner menus pair interesting textures with seasonal ingredients: cavatelli (semolina pasta), blood orange with braised duck, and can't-go-wrong fish of the day.
