A NEW cafe right by the beach has opened and it looks like it could be in Spain.
Southsea Beach Cafe has turned the former Beach Club into its second cafe in time for the summer.
Inspired by beach bars across Europe, the fringed umbrellas and rattan chairs wouldn’t look out of place in an Ibiza bar.
Serving breakfast and lunch, you can get all the classic of a Full English or avocado on toast, as well as burgers and fish and chips.
They also serve alcohol including cocktails and grazing boards.
Live music evenings will also return this summer, including Jazz Cafe nights and 5 Nights of Sumer with “sunset dining, European sharing platters and cocktails by the sea” along with music.
Tickets start from £10, and run from 7pm to 9pm.
Otherwise the cafe is only open in the day, from 9am to 5pm, (or 3pm in the week).
The cafe’s general manager Elisa Standley told local media: “I think this place has completely reformed the beachfront – it’s taken a modern twist of what we used to do, and it’s expanded what we do in a better way.
“It’s got probably the best view in Southsea.”
Outside of the cafe, Southsea is set to double the size of its beach and improve the size promenade.
Locals have also explained why they think Southsea is the best seaside town in the UK.
