About Dutton's Cove Restaurant

Perched right on the beach at Herolds Bay, Dutton's Cove offers one of the Garden Route's most spectacular seaside dining experiences. The relaxed atmosphere makes it equally suitable for a family lunch or sundowner drinks on the deck, where you can watch dolphins play in the waves below. The menu focuses on fresh seafood and quality grills, with their line fish and seafood platters being particular crowd-pleasers.

The setting is hard to beat – floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Indian Ocean, and the outdoor deck brings you even closer to the action. It's a popular spot for lazy weekend lunches and has become something of a Herolds Bay institution. The vibe is comfortably casual, making it the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again.

Located just 15 minutes from George, it's worth the drive for the combination of good food, friendly service, and that unbeatable beachfront location. Booking ahead is recommended, especially for window seats and weekend visits.
