Walk down to the habour, turn left and walk all the way along Cliff Road. You'll find "Diggies" at North Beach. This is a great place for breakfast in the sit-down cafe, or if you just want a fresh juice or coffee you can order from the kiosk and sit outside next to the sand. Very popular on weekends
