I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. What a cool location right beside the water. All the food is prepared and made fresh. My favorite breakfast item is The Cali BEC. Because they’re located right on the water you can pull right up with your boat or jet ski as well. They do not have any indoor seating, but there is some outdoor seating. I’d highly recommend South Swell!
This place is the best! From breakfast on the go, to tacos with live music. It has a great atmosphere and great people running it. The tacos were amazing! Fish taco was outstanding! Looking forward to getting back there a lot. Great spot on the water to go by boat or car.
Best breakfast I’ve ever had. Taste, texture and quality of ingredients are unparalleled. Why did I wait so long ?
