For food definitely Ship Inn - sea views from the garden. Small seaside town with typical British fish & chips and ice cream options. Harbour has no bins to discourage seagulls - ironic if you buy food from harbour food stalls. Very busy in Puffin times!

Stopped by Seahouses Harbour while exploring the coast. There are boat trips running from the harbour and a few food vans by the water, but overall there’s not loads to do directly around the harbour itself. There’s a convenient car park literally on the harbour and it’s an easy walk into the town centre from there. One of the nicer parts is the walkway out to the end of the harbour where there’s a small lighthouse and good views out to sea, worth doing if you’re already there. Probably not somewhere you’d spend a half day or full day, but definitely worth a short stop if you’re passing through or heading elsewhere along the coast.
