About Peters by The Sea

An unpretentious Scarborough Beach fixture, Peters by the Sea serves generous beachside staples without the waterfront markup. Locals treat it as an essential stop post-surf—sandy feet welcome—for hot kebabs, light and crunchy fish and chips, and seasoned beef patties served on thick toasted bread. It is also the dependable late-night outpost along the strip, keeping the griddle firing into the early hours for a hearty feed after nearby spots shut down. Many grab a mixed kebab or seafood pack and take it up the grassy hill overlooking the water to catch the sunset.

  • Late-Night Beachfront Fuel: Kebabs and hot meals remain available well past midnight when surrounding venues are closed.
  • Toasted Hamburger Sandwich: Juicy beef patties served on thick toasted sandwich bread rather than conventional burger buns.
  • Sunset Hill Takeaway: Generous takeaway packs easily carried up the adjacent grass hill overlooking the ocean.

  • Reliable Late-Night Refuel

    Serving through the early hours of the morning, it remains the dependable late-night haven when all other beachfront kitchens are shut.
