Fine seafront dining - just a short drive or boat ride from Poole The Ocean Bay Restaurant is a superb restaurant spectacularly situated on Swanage North Beach overlooking the sea. With a tasty and varied menu and a wonderful setting, Ocean Bay recently appeared in the top ten of the Daily Telegraph's top 50 summer restaurants! 
"It's breezy, bright and contemporary. Wonderful views of beach, cliffs and countryside beyond…excellent value". We use as much local produce as we can - and we can cater for all dietary requirements. We have a great range of vegetarian options and our party menus are ideal for larger groups. It's a wonderful location - relaxing and with stunning views. The restaurant itself is modern with oak floors, flamboyant art and funky purple leather chairs - and of course, plenty of window seating so that all our guests can admire the views. Come and relax at Ocean Bay - one of the best restaurants in the Poole and Swanage area. You'll find us just over the Sandbanks Chain Ferry if you're visiting us by car - or please feel free to use our moorings if you are coming by boat! And between May and September, we run water taxis - perfect if you're coming from Poole or farther afield. Book now on 01929 422222.
Cocktails and lunch on the terrace On sunny days, the terrace offers a wonderful retreat before or after dinner. Enjoy champagne or a cocktail - or choose from our extensive wine list.
