Sunnyboy Kiosk

Sunnyboy Kiosk sits on the promenade at Merewether Beach, a casual beachside spot for coffee and breakfast with ocean views and dogs welcome outside.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the open-air seating along the promenade and courtyard; only assistance dogs are permitted inside. A good tactic is to grab a spot on the courtyard perimeter so the dog can settle just outside the fence while you keep the view. Water bowls are usually around, but bring your own to be sure.

Good to know. The draw is the beachfront position and the views over Merewether Beach and the ocean baths. Reviewers rate the coffee, the egg and bacon rolls, and the acai and smoothie bowls. It is popular with surfers, locals and dog walkers, so it can get busy.

Getting there. 121 Henderson Parade. Street parking on Henderson Parade is limited; the larger free car park at the Merewether Ocean Baths is a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. The coastal walk from Merewether to Dixon Park runs right past, and the Merewether Dog Off-Leash Area is close by. Check council signage for leash rules on the sand.

Come early for parking and a quieter table. Good for a coffee break partway along a beachfront walk.
