Since 2010 Sandsend, North Yorkshire

A place to pause

A beach-side favourite since 2010

Tides began as a beach-hut kiosk and has grown into a spacious, laid-back café and shop at Sandsend.

The focus has always stayed simple: quality coffee, carefully made food and an easy place to pause beside the sea.

The menu and seating area were expanded in 2019, including the addition of a wood-fired pizza oven.
