The Boathouse Shelly Beach is on the stunning headland that is Shelly Beach. With nautical detailing, fresh flowers and white floors and walls, the boathouse’s open-plan design invites guests to wander in straight off the beach.

With a kiosk, full kitchen open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a private event space upstairs, The Boathouse Shelly Beach makes it easy to linger at the beach.

Open from 7am, the kiosk serves quality takeaway coffee, fresh juices, baked goods and fresh bouquets of flowers. Inside you’ll find a bright and welcoming haven of long share tables and intimate nooks, each designed to take advantage of the natural light. A large, white, marble bar dominates the space, and sunlight pours through the open doors and windows. Past the kitchen is the open-air garden.

The menu features a selection of seafood including cured snapper, trusty fish and chips and house-made green spaghetti with scampi and pippies. There is also a range of salads and flatbreads, perfect for sharing.
