Salt Bar

Last updated April 2026

At Salt Bar in Kingscliff on the Gold Coast, the real star isn’t just the beachfront views - it’s the kids’ menu that turns every meal into a mini celebration. Little ones go wild for the mini pizzas and banana splits, while parents enjoy the relaxed vibe and ocean breeze right on Bells Blvd. This isn’t just another family-friendly restaurant; it’s a place where the sound of waves mixes with laughter and the clink of kids’ cutlery. The open-air setting means salty hair and sandy toes are encouraged, making it feel more like a beach day than a sit-down meal. With a menu that balances healthy choices for picky eaters and treats they’ll beg to return for, Salt Bar is a Gold Coast gem for families who want more than just a meal out. What to Bring A sun hat and sunglasses are essential. Bring a beach towel to wipe sandy feet before climbing into high chairs. Pack a small toy or colouring book to keep little hands busy. Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen for the walk from the car park. Best Age Range Perfect for toddlers through to tweens - 2 to 12 years old. High chairs and booster seats are available.
