Surfside cafes are situated on Rotherslade, Langland and Caswell Bay. Nice spots for coffee. Don't expect the staff to be that friendly, they never are, but they are convenient to the beaches. Great bacon butties, burgers & cakes.

Amazing what they produce out of this little trailer on the sea front. Be warned, that it can often be a 45 minute wait when busy, but this allows you time to walk to the Co-op to buy drinks. Enjoy sitting on the slip opposite the trailer. Or, place your order earlier in the day and then you won't be disappointed that they've run out of something.
