A breezy laneway fluttering with green fern walls heralds the entry to Coast, a sprawling, multizoned bar-cafe and kiosk that oozes chilled beach vibes with views to match. Perched on Port Beach’s fluffy sands, the airy joint’s hottest seats are window-facing couches. Best visited for a postswim lunch or blushing sunset, expect pub grub, Asian classics and pizza.
What you’re wearing might define your visit: Coast’s main floor is smart but casual; the elevated cocktail bar is more glamorous, particularly by night. If you’re on a budget or simply don’t want to rub the sugary sand off your bod, order takeaway fish and chips from the kiosk and join the locals for a beach picnic on the shore.
