Favorite Post Surf Eating Spots

Postby thawkwood » Sun Nov 05, 2006 10:05 pm

Hey,

What are your favorite restaurants, pubs, etc... to eat before, or after a good day's surfing.

My favorites are:

1) Ruby Tuesday's (If I surf in Daytona, there's one just down International Speedway)
2) Taco Bell
3) Hot Dog (Local place in Jacksonville on A1A)
4) Tropical Cafe

Nothing beats a good Fish and Chip Feast after being in the water all day or a massive Burger! Brings back Childhood memories! :wink:

St Vedas Hotel, Coldingham Bay.

100 yds from the sea. Walk up, get changed, good food, warm drinks, open fire and friendly atmosphere..... genius! :lol:

The timing of this topic is kind of interesting, on Saturday, Corky Caroll did a column in my local paper about his favorite post surf eateries.

I love Ruby Tuesdays, but for after surf drinking......and eating you cant beat South Beach Grill. Its on Cresent Beach, and the No Shoes, No Shirt rule desent apply till after 5:00PM. Nice break right out back of the place too.

My anytime drinking, and eating spot around here is Scarlett Ohara's.

in the car or on the beach - a giant sized sandwich (maybe french bread)with cheese, tomato, & ham, or anything I can find (depends on my mood!) with a bottle of water and a few apples. Something to really get my teeth into!

Anywhere that serves a hot steak (blue / rare) and a cold pint of stella.

The Steak for the protein I need to rebuild the muscle tissues stretched / torn in the exercise, and the pint to chill me out.

Frequently the Thatch in Croyde.

whatever freeze dried camping food my backpacking stove feels like cooking :D

So cheap, and so easy. Grab a bottle of water, throw it on the stove, 2 minutes later, you're enjoying pretty much anything from mexican to beef stroagnoff, to mac and cheese, to chinese, the list goes on.

Although in the summer nothing tops a huge burger from Sam's. It's a short trip from my surf spot, and actually if it wasn't illegal I could paddle there.
