Welcome to Tides Sandsend

A place to pause
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.

From a first coffee to a warm lunch or something sweet after the beach, Tides keeps good food easy and relaxed.
