About Beaches Cafe & Bar

Perched above Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village, Beaches Cafe & Bar pairs uninterrupted ocean views across Lady Bay with easy morning staples. It is an effortless perch along the Great Ocean Road—place your order up at the bar counter, grab a flat white, and head straight out to the heated outdoor balcony. Travellers count on the house-smoked salmon eggs royale, crisp hash browns, and thick-cut Turkish bread to set them straight for the drive ahead, all framed by the lighthouse and the coastline below.

  • Heated All-Weather Balcony: Sheltered outdoor balcony with overhead heaters looking out across Lady Bay, the historic village, and Breakwater pier.
  • Streamlined Counter Ordering: Counter-service setup inside a spacious dining room keeps morning coffee and breakfast moving without long delays.
  • Coastal Road-Trip Breakfasts: Morning plates range from eggs royale with smoked salmon to toasted Turkish loaves and gluten-free choices.
