You cannot get any better than a beautiful ocean view and amazing ice cream!! After a day in the ocean, we wanted something cold and sweet and the beach plum hit the spot. While surveying the menu, coffee Kahlua brownie caught my eye and with chocolate sprinkles it was amazing! I ordered a small and what I got blew my mind. My boyfriend loves black raspberry and he also got a small on a waffle cone. This was so much ice cream. We ended up having a very very light dinner. If you are looking for a "small" cone I suggest a baby or half a baby cone because the sizes and the flavors are amazing! When we come back on vacation, we will definitely be checking this place out again 🙂

Update: just got a lobster roll which wasn't the greatest. Pretty sure it was made with frozen lobster. Basically the food and ice cream isn't that good. If the priority for the night is to just have some food at the beach, they definitely have that and it's a pretty spot to eat at the water.
Bad ice cream. I've had a great lobster roll before. But the ice cream experience was terrible. First off, ice cream portions are probably three times bigger than they should be(this might sound good on the surface level, but I consider myself a huge fan of ice cream and I got my "small" cone, literally threw away a scoop before I took a bite, threw away another scoop while I was eating, and didn't even reach the cone). The size problem was exacerbated by the fact that the ice cream itself melted uncontrollably when outside temp was only 72°(your probably thinking I just don't know how to handle a cone, I have been eating cones my whole life and had no chance of preventing my entire arm from being covered). Finally, the ice cream itself was average, at best.
Management, please be transparent about your cone sizes, and buy or fix your freezers so your ice cream does not instantly become cream.

Good ice cream! 3 stars for.. and I can't believe I'm saying this but.. the small ice cream I bought weighs about 2 lbs and is sticking out of the dish at least 10 inches. The smallest portion is 2 big and I'm 6'2" 190 lbs. So but a small ask for Xtra dish and share

YUM YUM and no shortage of ice cream with a kiddie and a small!! Conveniently located easy in and out of parking lot. Great view if you eat your ice cream directly across the street.

Not to be missed if you're driving up the coast and feel the need for some ice cream or sandwich. Eat at a picnic table or sit on the wall across the street with a view of the ocean. Just watch out for the seagulls, they will dive bomb you for a piece of bread.
