Great Place to have Breakfast/ Lunch or Dinner while enjoying the amazing sea view or watching your favourite sports team. Great for lunch if you have kids, after lunch just take your family down to the beach!

On my last Friday night down the coast I decided to go out for cocktails and something to eat. Decided to try Buccaneers. Well, it was exactly what I was looking for.Helenia was my waitress, who was efficient and friendly with a smile, that made you feel at home and she could read my mind and suggested a cocktail not on the menu!I had the Beef Burger with Peppadews and a Long Island Iced tea.Perfect early evening dinner over looking the lagoon and a great way to end off my trip. Will be back again soon

Nice cozy corner with their own beach entrance basically. We sat by their outside area, and it has a really nice view of the ocean. There are umbrellas for the sun that you can move around as you need.It is a pub, so you can sit inside. They do serve food and it's big portions, plus it was tasty. The staff are nice and give good service, they check on you and make sure you have what you need.
