Discover a rare gem on the Swanage coast, The Hungry Shark, where the cocktails are just as memorable as the sea views.

This relaxed spot is known for serving what they dub the ‘best burgers in town’, alongside a great selection of freshly made drinks.

With beautiful views overlooking Swanage Bay, this is not one to miss.

Whether you’re meeting friends for a cocktail or dining with loved ones, The Hungry Shark is a great setting with a calm and relaxed atmosphere that instantly puts you in a happy mood.

The restaurant is situated within Santa Fe Fun Park, offering lots to do before or after your meal.

Enjoy a round of dinosaur golf and cool yourself off after all the fun with a refreshing beverage.

The bright interiors create a happy atmosphere, mixed with the natural look of the furniture, meaning you don’t have to go far to enjoy drinks in the sunshine.

If ‘people watching’ in the sun isn’t for you, then sit back and relax in a botanical oasis, feeling at peace surrounded by foliage and calming colours while you catch up with loved ones over a delicious meal.

The cocktail bar is a vibrant spot offering freshly prepared cocktails made from fresh produce and mixed to perfection.

Sitting back and admiring the turquoise water of Swanage is enhanced by the friendly staff members and chilled vibe.

The views are unmatched. Swanage is renowned for its stunning, crystal-clear waters.

Enjoy the luxury of dining by the beach in a quieter setting, watch the boats bob on the water and families paddling in the sea.

The menu is simple, featuring items such as burgers, hot dogs, and seaside classics like fish and chips.

Devour a freshly prepared, delicious towering burger, or indulge in the soft, flaky fish and light batter, both paired with perfectly cooked chips – soft in the middle with a slight crunch on the outside.

There are also numerous options for children to enjoy, such as sausage and chips, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets.

The Hungry Shark is a fantastic spot for chilling in the sun with an ice-cold drink.

Everybody is welcome and made to feel special by the friendly and helpful staff.

Unwind after golf or visit for the view, the menu is great value for money and offers a unique and enjoyable time with loved ones.
