restaurants on the beach

There are some reataurants on the beach down near the rocks which have the most amazing views at sunset and are a really special place to go but we were a little disappointed. The food was more expensive than in town which is to be expected as you're paying for the ambience as well, but the quality of the food is far less than many of the others in town and the service is only ok. They seem to be too busy to really look after you sincerely and seemed geared towards guests from the nearby beachfront hotels. Maybe we caught them on a bad day but it was definately a case of hype/reputation over reality

Unique Suggestions: If you do really want to go just enjoy the view and accept the food but i think there are far better places to try
