City chic meets beachside dining at Bournemouth’s Urban Reef – if you’re not a fan of seaside chintz, this is the place for you. With contemporary neutral decor, this cafe prides itself on serving locally sourced food from the owner’s farm. Offering everything from leisurely breakfasts to fancy cocktails, you could even skip the beach and hang out here all day. Locals recommend enjoying the Jenga-style chips while taking in the awe-inspiring view.
