The Ship Inn

Proper harbourside local where locals actually drink, with real ales and fish and chips that taste like the sea.

Walk down Marine Parade towards the harbour and you'll find The Ship doing what it's done for years—pouring pints and serving no-nonsense pub food to fishermen, tourists, and everyone in between. It's the kind of place where the bar staff know regulars by name, the ales rotate properly, and nobody's worried about Instagram angles. The views across the water are there if you want them, but honestly, you're here for the atmosphere—low ceilings, worn wooden fixtures, the smell of salt air mixed with real ale. On a good night it's buzzing; on a quiet afternoon it's your refuge from the gift shops.
