Top Haven holiday park with a seaside bar that ‘feels like Ibiza' is on one of UK's best beaches
A CAFE overlooking one of the UK's best beaches has been compared to being in Ibiza.
In a review, one visitor dubbed the South Beach Cafe on Sandy Bay Beach in Devon as having the "feel of an Ibiza chill out bar", sat overlooking the beach.

The cafe itself is located at Haven's Devon Cliffs site.
There is a cliff top terrace that plays a "pleasant mix of music" according to one visitor.
The same visitor also noted how they "could not fault the food".
Another visitor added: "You'd be mistaken for thinking this could be in Ibiza.
"[There is a] sanded play area right outside for the kids too which is handy."
The venue has an extensive menu, with a lot of different seafood dishes and sharing plates, including a seafood platter.
The cafe also serves breakfast, for those who are out for an early morning stroll.
The privately owned Exmouth beach has previously won Blue Flag awards and been recognised for its beauty, safety and amenities.
The long stretch of sand is a preferred spot for water sports enthusiasts, as well as people who enjoy rock pooling.
Visitors can also fossil hunt and sunbath at the beach.
For those who like to go for a walk or hike, the beach is also conveniently located on the South West Coast Path - which provides stunning views of the bay, its rugged cliffs and sealife.
Lucky visitors may even get the chance to spot seabirds or seals.
In the summer months, the beach is the ideal spot for families as the RNLI provides lifeguards to the beach.
Amenities at the beach also include places to grab refreshments, such as the South Beach Cafe.
Away from the beach itself, Devon is home to dozens of charming villages and rolling countryside.
The Sun's reporter, Cyann Fielding, grew up on the Devon coast with the most Blue Flag beaches in the UK – she shared the ones which she rates and the places to avoid.
Plus, a huge beach named 'best in England' by Sun readers will get new £2.6m tourist centre in time for summer.
