Who we are

The Boathouse is an inviting and vibrant family-run beach café directly on the promenade in beautiful Sandgate, established in 2016 - Over the years, it has truly blossomed into a key part of Sandgate's thriving café scene. We take pride in serving a delightful selection of freshly made food, accompanied by an array of delicious ice creams, irresistible cakes, and pastries. Our coffee is roasted locally, and we also offer a variety of grab-and-go snacks, making us the perfect stop for both locals and visitors alike. Take a moment to enjoy the lovely views and comfortable seating, and discover for yourself why The Boathouse has become a beloved go-to destination, especially on those beautifully sunny days.
