Location is the key here and Saltwater has it in spades with its location on the first floor of Fingal Bay Surf Lifesaving Club. A wall of windows overlooks the ever-changing scenes of bay and beach. A lift provides access for those who can't manage stairs and there is ample free parking adjacent to the surf club.



The dining area is light and bright and the simple white furniture and slashes of green complement the vista. Saltwater is open all week for a 11am to 3pm lunch service with a range of weekday food and drink specials .
The pumpkin and brown rice bowl ($15) was tasty with a spicy harissa sauce, grilled halloumi and charred broccolini and the addition of succulent prawns ($7) added some extra protein



The 300g steak was perfectly cooked to order and the accompanying chips were not at all greasy, it was served with coleslaw and a garden salad. Although there were no children when we dined, they are catered for with $10 meals which include fries, salad and a paddle pop. Some of the menu options are gluten-free and/or suitable for those with vegetarian or vegan diets.



The restaurant is fully licensed and the bar staff make a mean cocktail. Between 5pm and 6pm they serve a $10 cocktail of the week and $5 beers and wines and it would be a very happy hour on the outdoor terrace. Although it can be fairly quiet early in the week, it is best to make a booking if your group is big or you want to secure window seats. On weekends they do a roaring trade and at times close for private functions such as weddings , so it is essential to make a reservation.



Saltwater At Fingal Bay is a relaxed but special place to enjoy spectacular views, great meals and drinks.
