Rosemarkie Beach Café

A friendly community cafe on the beach at Rosemarkie, serving sandwiches on soft fresh bread, soup and home-made cakes every day.

Welcome

Right on the beach at Rosemarkie, a small blue timber cafe with tables outside is the natural place to stop after a walk along the sand.

The Rosemarkie Beach Cafe is a community cafe.

The menu is short, but everything on it is done well. There are sandwiches and filled rolls on soft, fresh bread, soup, and a counter of home-made cakes. It is simple beach food made with care, and the staff are friendly.

The cafe opens every day from ten in the morning until three in the afternoon. Take your tea and cake outside and watch the Moray Firth, or come in from a cold dip after a session in the wood-fired sauna next door.
