The Beach Café @ Impithi – Pennington’s Best-Kept Coastal Secret

If you’re heading to Pennington on the KZN South Coast and don’t stop at The Beach Café @ Impithi, did you even beach properly? Nestled right above the sand with unbeatable ocean views, this locally loved gem serves up hearty homemade meals, legendary breakfasts, and freshly brewed coffee with the sound of waves in the background.

Open seven days a week, The Beach Café is more than just a pit stop – it’s a full-on vibe. Whether you’re craving a seaside fry-up, a frosty milkshake, or Pennington’s crispiest fish and chips, this café’s got you. And yes, there’s even vegan stacks, French toast, and banana bacon toasties (say less, right?).

Everything’s made with love, baked and cooked fresh on-site, and powered by a community heartbeat. The café was started over 15 years ago by the Pennington Conservancy, a local NPO dedicated to protecting the coastline, uplifting the community, and keeping Pennington’s natural beauty alive. So every bite you take helps support something bigger.

Perfect for:

• Family breakfasts with a sea breeze

• Lunch with a view

• Coffee stops on your tidal trail

• Treating your taste buds after a beach walk
