Loved it!! Excellent place for breakfast. We walked here from Abersoch High Street (25mins) along the beach. Beautiful views and friendly staff. Particular thanks to Otto and Harry.

What an exquisite place. The beach here is awesome, so it's worth the drive regardless of the last few poor reviews. The bar itself is a sturdy purpose built sandbar, great 180 view of the beach and peninsula. 2 staff on today were really pleasant and helpful. My coffee came in less than 5 minutes, and steak and chips came in 16 minutes, but there was only me being served and 4 other tables who'd eaten. I think I'd wait longer if I had to because the view is stunning, so bring a book, chillax, and bear with when it's busy.

We had a wonderful lunch an excellent breakfast at The Sandbar. The restaurant is in a really beautiful location, right on the beach. The service is really good & the food excellent. I hugely recommend a visit.

Have eaten here regularly since 2019 and after understandably difficult times during the pandemic the place has had a stylish refit, recruited a fantastic team and offers a superb menu at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Service and food have been consistently superb on my latest visit (October 22) which has prompted me to write such a positive review. I notice below comments on price. I think if you’ve come expecting a cheap cafe on the beach you’ll find it expensive. If you compare it to any nice restaurant and then add in a fantastic location on the beach I actually think it’s of fair value and stacks up well price wise against any nice eatery across the UK.

Right on the beach about half way along. We have had coffee here each day and a nice lunch on Sunday. They also serve breakfast and evening meals. Dog friendly. Service is good even when busy. Prices are not cheap , but food and drinks are very good.

Me and my friend went the sand bar for a late afternoon lunch today and loved the food. Ben, Megan and Chloe were also really nice and attentive. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s staying close to abersoch.

Had a lovely breakfast and flat whites. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was lovely. Perfect view with the sea and mountains. We’ll definitely make this our spot when we visit abersoch again!
