About 16 Beach General Store

Directly opposite the 16th Beach car park, this back-beach outpost ditches standard convenience fare for organic pantry provisions, farm produce, and proper espresso. Regulars stop in after morning coastal trails for Zeally Bay sourdough, flaky pastries, and ethical meats, lingering over a chat with owner Frank. Come summer weekend mornings, acoustic tunes drift outside while beachgoers assemble picnics with local cheeses and fresh fruit.

  • Curated Organic Groceries: Stocked with organic fruit and vegetables, ethical dairy, fresh sourdough, and specialty pantry essentials rather than standard corner-store goods.
  • Direct Beachside Setting: Located steps from the sand across from the 16th Beach car park, ideal for post-surf takeaway coffee and picnic supplies.
  • Weekend Morning Music: Hosts casual live music on weekend and summer mornings to accompany morning coffee and neighborhood catch-ups.
