Lovely place for a spot of lunch, well worth the visit. Great selection, food was delicious and portions huge. Staff coukdnt be more friendly and we loved all the nik naks for sale. Lovely view and location, though sorry to hear it's up for sale.

We had a full English breakfast one October morning, after swimming. The best I've eaten in a long time.

Best place to get breakfast which is served all day here. They offer 2 rashers of back bacon, 2 sausages, homemade hash brown, perfectly fried egg, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans (in separate pot) and 2 rounds of toast & butter (choice of white, whole meal or granary). All this served with a smile (quick service) costs a bargain £8.50. Excellent value imo. Wide choice of drinks and a sausage for the dog. Setting couldn’t be nearer the sea, you’re virtually on the beach. Very pleasant staff also.

Always enjoy visiting the Salix. Often pop in after walking the dog or paddleboarding. Full English, bacon butty or coffee and cake. All very tasty. Welcoming cafe with excellent views of the bay.

Beautiful seafront location, spacious, easly accesible on wheelchairs. The manager was superhelpful arranging the tables for us. The food was lovely and the service quick. The vibe very relaxed and friendly. There's life music in the afternoons, 2 days I was there, I listened to chilled guitar pieces by Dylan, Johny Cash and the next day there was a great reagge spontainous dance off. Wonderful.

This little cafe right on the sea front does some excellent coffee. It was well made and came at a reasonable price. They use a table numbering system, where you go up and order, then your drinks are brought to your table.
I didn't try their cakes/food, however the items available look very appetising.
The location is nice, with good views out across Sandown bay. It's a quick walk from Shanklin seafront, and a longer walk from Sandown.

Lovely beach side cafe - a little further than most others but worth the walk. Great fry up, including the vegetarian version. We were there on a Sunday and they had a brilliant reggae style singer performing outside. Really friendly with a local feel to it.
